Released in 1997 on Greensleeves Records, Reggae Ska Riddim pulls together a lively dancehall set with a strong ska twist and 15 cuts from 18 artists. The lineup includes Freddie McGregor’s title track Reggae Ska, plus standout performances from Chaka Demus, Captain Barkey and Angel Doolas, Cutty Ranks and Dawn Karen, Papa San, Cobra, and Carlene Davis. It mixes classic singjay energy with tighter, horn-friendly ska phrasing, which gives the project a more playful feel than a straight-up dancehall compilation. Greensleeves was already a major name in reggae by the late ’90s, and this one fits neatly into that catalogue of artist-driven rhythm releases.
