Nicky Riddim – Colin Fat Records

1994 dancehall from Colin Fat Records, the Nicky Riddim brings together four cuts in a tight, vocal-heavy set: General B’s Nicky, Ghost’s I Wish You Were Here, Ghost and Round Head’s East Side Motel, and Mega Plough’s Debbie’s Cat. The release is a small four-track showcase, with Ghost featured twice and General B leading the headline tune, which gives it a strong mid-90s dancehall feel. Colin Fat Records was one of the more active names in the era, and this one sits neatly in that run of compact, artist-driven juggling rhythms.
