Monkey Face Riddim – Imaj Music

Produced by Imaj Music in 1995, Monkey Face Riddim is a four-track dancehall set that brings together General Trees, Michael Rose, and Willi Williams, with General Trees’ Monkey Face leading the selection and Give A Little Bit and Right Time rounding out the vocal cuts. The rhythm has that lean mid-’90s sound, with a version cut tucked in alongside the songs, and it sits neatly in the kind of straight-ahead dancehall lane Imaj Music was putting out at the time. Michael Rose’s presence adds a strong roots-to-dancehall link, while Willi Williams and General Trees give the release its character and range.
