Pride And Ambition Riddim – Channel One

Pride And Ambition produced by Jo Jo Hookim, Bunny Striker Lee, Augustus Clarke for Channel One in 1977

Pride And Ambition Riddim came out in 1977 on Channel One and is tied to producer Jo Jo Hookim, with the riddim also credited in post notes to Bunny Striker Lee and Augustus Clarke. The lineup leans on Leroy Smart’s signature Pride And Ambition, alongside Dennis Alcapone’s Six Million Dollar Man and the Leroy Smart and Big Youth combination cut, giving the set a strong mix of singer and deejay versions. Smart’s song was already one of his best-known tunes by the time this Channel One version surfaced, and the riddim’s appeal lies in how it keeps that familiar melody moving through different voices rather than chasing a single cut.
