Night Crawler Riddim (1998) – Shines Production

Shines Production’s Night Crawler Riddim is a 1998 dancehall juggernaut that pairs Goofy’s Terry Little Putty Cat, Merciless on Mr. Hart Harden, Hawkeye’s U Mash Mi Corn, Mr. Vegas with Hit Him Back, and Red Rat on Goody 2 Shoe, plus the version cut that carries the same name as the riddim. The set centers on sharp, late-90s DJ energy, and Shane Richards’ Shines imprint also shows up across other 1998 releases from that same run, which helps place this rhythm squarely in that era’s lively street-dance sound. Of the cuts, Hit Him Back and Goody 2 Shoe are the kind of hooks that anchor the lineup and give the riddim its identity.
