One Drop Riddim – Xterminator

Xterminator’s 1995 One Drop Riddim pairs a crisp roots groove with a small but strong lineup led by Beres Hammond, Luciano, Tony Rebel, Selassie I Warriors and Cocoa Tea. The set includes Luciano and Tony Rebel’s Every Man Has A Way, Selassie I Warriors’ Wealth And Money, and Cocoa Tea’s Israel’s King, a song tied to the same one-drop pulse that also helped define the era. Fatis Burrell’s Xterminator label was known for polished, conscious reggae in the mid-90s, and this rhythm sits neatly in that lane with its mellow swing and message-first voice selection.
