Perish Riddim – Barry U Records

Produced by Barry U Records in 1998, Perish Riddim is a five-track dancehall set that pulls together Gal A Wasp, High Plains Drifter, Major Lee, Michigan, and Tuffest. Michigan’s Kill Fi Fun and High Plains Drifter’s title cut are the key pulls here, alongside Gal A Wasp’s Weed Make Me High and Tuffest’s Could A Laugh. The riddim is closely tied to Patrick Barrett, who is credited on the production side, and it also shows up under the alternate name Mortal Kombat in some listings. With just five voicings, it keeps a tight, rare-ragga feel and captures that late-90s Barry U sound in a lean, hard-edged way.
