Midnight Riddim – Ghetto Shanty Records

MIDNIGHT RIDDIM produced by GHETTO SHANTY RECORDS 2005

Ghetto Shanty Records’ Midnight Riddim sits in that 2005 St. Kitts dancehall pocket where the production leans dark and sparse, leaving plenty of room for the vocalists to ride the groove. Ashkenaz and Bamboo B set the tone early with “Roast Out Man” and “Man From Zion, ” while Blacka Roze’s “Good Herb” and Jah Fire’s “Blaze It Pon Dem” push the more ganja-conscious side of the set. The whole thing has a late-night, street-corner feel, with the rhythm version tucked in among the cuts and a mix of solo turns and pairings that keeps the pace moving without overcomplicating it. Alongside the original tracks, the release carries singles from Conman, Dah Kru, and Bonafide with Fenom, plus a Ghetto Shanty Records St. Kitts version cut, making it a compact 24-track snapshot of the label’s 2005 dancehall output.
