Rat Trap Riddim (1998) – Mafia And Fluxy

1998 dancehall keeps the Rat Trap Riddim moving with a tight five-track set produced by Mafia and Fluxy. The lineup pairs Chukki Star’s Skirt Too Short with Doctor Lee’s Skettl Bomb, Little Clarkey’s Bashment Girl, Zagu Zarr’s A Man Like Me, and the version cut, giving the riddim a compact, no-frills feel that was common in late-’90s bashment. Mafia and Fluxy, the UK production duo of Leroy and David Heywood, were already known for polished reggae and dancehall work, and this cut shows that same clean, heavy approach. Short but memorable, it leans on sharp vocal performances and a strong instrumental groove rather than crowding the rhythm with too many songs.
