Operation Radication Riddim – Joe Frasier

1998 reggae’s Operation Radication Riddim came out on Joe Frasier and brings together a strong lineup that includes Black Rat, Cassandra, Courtney Melody, Itals, Junior Moore, Leroy Sibbles, Mikey Spice, Mitchigan, and Pam Hall. The set leans on rootsy vocals and lovers-style cuts, with tracks like Black Rat’s School Thing, Itals’ Ina Dis A Time, Junior Moore’s It’s No Secret, and Leroy Sibbles’ Choice Of Colour giving the riddim plenty of range. The title itself traces back to the classic Operation Radication groove, also known as Ina Disa Time, first credited to Lloyd Campbell in the mid-70s, which gives this late-90s issue a direct link to a much older reggae foundation.
