Punanny Nowadays Riddim – Shocking Vibes

Shocking Vibes delivered the Punanny Nowadays Riddim in 1996, riding a lively dancehall groove with a stacked lineup that includes Beenie Man, Alley Cat, Buccaneer, Devonte, Ghost, Little Kirk, and others. Beenie Man’s Romie is the best-known cut here, alongside strong turns like Alley Cat’s Yuh Hotta and Beenie Man and Tanto Metro’s Middle Of The Night. The rhythm draws on the classic Punanny pattern while updating it for mid-90s dancehall, and Patrick Roberts’ Shocking Vibes imprint was already a major force in that era. It’s a fast-moving various-artists set with plenty of mic energy and the sharp, playful style that made the label’s releases so durable.
