Mumps Riddim came out in 1998 on El Paso and brings together a compact dancehall set with Ghost on Mumps, Hawkeye on Labba Mouth, Vegas on Bounce About, Singing Melody on U Make Me Wanna, and Thriller U on Tell Me. The rhythm also turns up on Riddim-ID and related discography listings, which place it firmly in El Paso’s late-90s dancehall run. Ghost’s Mumps is the title cut here, while Hawkeye and Singing Melody give the line-up some extra pull with their sharply delivered vocals. It’s a straightforward various-artist release, but the mix of established singers and deejays gives Mumps Riddim a distinct 1998 dancehall profile.
