A tight six-cut run from 1987, Ragga Muffin Riddim lines up some very familiar late-’80s dancehall voices without wasting a tune. Double Ugly’s “Pay Your Owner Rent” and Al Campbell’s “Fools Fight Themselves” set the tone with that lean, springy digital-era pulse, while Echo Minott and John Wayne keep it moving with sharper deejay cuts and easy hooks. The rhythm itself sits in that transitional ragga moment: stripped-down, skanking, and built for sound system pull-up, but still carrying enough grit to feel rooted in the older dancehall era. General Trees and Scorpion round out the set with “Warning” and “Posse Come Follow We, ” and the closer leaves the riddim in full control, which is exactly how a good 1987 juggling should feel.
