Miss Cassie Riddim – Original Amazon

By 2005, Original Amazon had this one down to a tight three-cut session, and the best-known name in the mix is Mikey General, whose “Jah Provide” sits over a warm, steady reggae groove that leaves plenty of room for the vocals to breathe. Yabba Youth’s “Sweet And Nicest Girl” keeps the mood sweet but rooted, while the version cut lets the rhythm carry its own weight without any extra fuss. Riddim-ID also links the same production to Winston Hussey’s “Na Fren Dem” and Cedric Myton’s “Leaders Of The World, ” which gives a little more shape to the wider Miss Cassie family and hints at the kind of roots-minded company this rhythm was keeping. The release runs three tracks: “Jah Provide, ” “Miss Cassie” version, and “Sweet And Nicest Girl. ”
