Old Fox Riddim – Cell Block 321

1996 dancehall flexes on the Old Fox Riddim from Cell Block 321, a five-track cut that brings together Alley Cat, Anthony B, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder, General B and Jason Sweetness, plus Tasha T. Alley Cat’s Old Fox leads the way, while Show Some Love and Big Bamboo give the rhythm two of its most memorable pairings. The production is credited to Syl Gordon and Mark Myrie, tying the project to the same Cell Block 321 camp that was active across a run of mid-’90s dancehall releases. Tough, compact, and built for the sound system, it’s a neat snapshot of that era’s straight-ahead ragga energy.
