One Drop Riddim – Various Labels

One Drop produced by Phillip Burrell, Winston Powell for Xterminator, Cylton, Tuff Gong, Stone Love, 321 Strong in 1979

One Drop Riddim collects tunes first cut in 1979 and later revisited across several labels, with Phillip Burrell and Winston Powell among the key producers behind the versions here. Bob Marley and The Wailers’ One Drop anchors the set, while Beres Hammond, Luciano, Tony Rebel, Cocoa Tea, Frankie Paul, Gregory Isaacs, Jah Cure and Sizzla all bring different shades to the same foundation. The lineup also includes Aaron Silk’s Give It Up and Moonlight, plus Macka B’s Hold On To Your Culture, and the 321 Strong cuts add a later bridge to the classic groove. It’s a steady roots-heavy selection that shows how long the rhythm kept finding new life well beyond its original Tuff Gong link.
