Mr Bassie Riddim – Kennedy International

Produced by Kennedy International Records, Mr Bassie Riddim is a 1990 reggae set rooted in the early dancehall era and tied to Clive Kennedy’s Jamaica-based label. The lineup brings together Admiral Tibet, Anthony B, Baby Wayne, Elyjah and Michael Fabulous, with Admiral Tibet’s Blame It On Yourself and Anthony B’s Heavy Like Lead among the key cuts. It also includes War A Gwaan, Sick A Dem Treatment and Hit The Chart, giving the riddim a mix of conscious pressure and tougher mic work. Kennedy International’s name comes up often in that period, and this release shows the label working with a strong cast of voices across one familiar foundation.
