Produced by Steely and Cleevie Records in 1990, Rikers Island Riddim brings together three cuts from Apachie Scratchie, Cocoa Tea, and Tony Rebel, with Cocoa Tea’s Riker’s Island and Tony Rebel’s Advertisement giving the set its most recognisable moments. The rhythm has that early-90s reggae feel, spare but sharp, and Cocoa Tea’s track in particular helped turn the title into a lasting favourite. With just three songs, the release keeps the focus tight and lets the vocal performances carry the weight.
