Peanie Peanie Riddim (1995) – John John Records

Produced by John John Records and issued in 1995, Peanie Peanie Riddim pulls together a sharp dancehall lineup with Bounty Killer’s Cellular Phone, Shabba Ranks’ Peanie Peanie, Chaka Demus’ Original Kuff, Spragga Benz’s Good Day, and Terror Fabulous’ Gun Fool among its key cuts. The rhythm is best known as a Shabba Ranks vehicle, but this John John collection gives it a wider late-90s dancehall feel with aggressive toasting, swaggering hooks, and a hard-edged groove that suits the era. Wayne Wonder and Don Yute’s Sensi Ride adds a smoother touch, while Nitty Gritty’s We Run Things gives the set a classic foundation.
