Ngozi Riddim – John John Records

Bounty Killer, paired with Spragga Benz and Ang on “Under Age” in both edited and raw form, gives Ngozi Riddim its sharpest edge, but the set moves well beyond that one cut, with Anthony Cruz, Bushman, Freddie McGregor, Junior Kelly, Luciano and Tony Curtis all working the same 2003 groove. John John Records keeps the sequencing lean: vocal cuts front the riddim, then a straight version track closes the package, so you get the songs first and the instrumental last. It’s one of those early-2000s dancehall-reggae compilations that leans on a strong cast rather than gimmicks, with “World Peace, ” “Trodding, ” and “Joy And Splendour” sitting neatly alongside the nastier Bounty Killer cut. The release is listed with 12 tracks and 12 unique artists.
