New Style Riddim (1996) – Sledge Hammer

New Style Riddim comes from Marlon Cummings and Sledge Hammer Productions, landing in 1996 with a lean three-track dancehall set. The lineup pairs Baby Brown’s Man In Me with Mr Spontaneous on New Style, plus the instrumental version, so there’s not much wasted space here. It’s a rare 90s cut with a tight, stripped-back feel, and both vocal tracks keep the energy focused on the rhythm rather than clutter. The release sits neatly in the mid-90s ragga era, when small, sharp riddims like this were built for the sound system and the dance.
