Mortal Kombat Aka Perish Riddim – Barry U Records

1998 dancehall heat comes through on Mortal Kombat Aka Perish Riddim from Barry U Records, a tight five-song set with Galawasp, Gangstar Lee, High Plains Drifte, Michigan, and Tuffest each riding the same cut in their own style. Weed Make Me High and Bout A Million are two of the immediate standouts, while Perish and Kill Fi Fun keep the energy sharp and grimy. The riddim is linked to producer Patrick Barrett, and Barry U had a strong run in that era with stripped-back, hard-driving dancehall productions that let the voices and the topic-heavy lyrics do the work.
