One Man One Vote Riddim – Greensleeves Records

1991 dancehall’s One Man One Vote Riddim from Greensleeves Records pulls together a heavyweight lineup with Bunny Rugs, Cocoa Tea, Dean Fraser, Dennis Brown, Hopeton Lindo, Leroy Gibbon, Mikey Melody, Pad Anthony, and Shabba Ranks all riding the same cut. Bunny Rugs leads with the title track, while standout appearances from Dennis Brown’s No More Walls, Cocoa Tea’s Reach Out Speak Out, and Shabba Ranks’ Build Bridges give the riddim plenty of range. The set leans into conscious, message-driven lyrics rather than pure slackness, which makes it feel a little different from a lot of early-’90s dancehall. Greensleeves had a sharp ear for singer-driven compilations, and this one captures that polished, rootsy side of the era very well.
