Rip Off Riddim – Stone Love Music

Rip Off Riddim is a 1999 Stone Love Music production that pulls together a strong dancehall lineup, including Capleton, Bobby Crystal, Brian and Tony Gold, Harry Toddler, Lexxus, Mega Banton, Penny Irie, Tanto Metro and Devonte, and 14K. The cutlist leans on crowd-ready tunes like Capleton’s Hot A Get Hotter, Bobby Crystal’s God Spent A Little More Time, and Tanto Metro and Devonte’s I Can’t Get No Sleep, with a version tucked in at the end. It was issued by Stone Love Movement, the long-running sound system and label, and the riddim also shows up under the 1999 Stone Love catalog with Bobby Crystal’s Little More Time listed on related databases. The title fits the record’s rough-edged dancehall mood: sharp voices, big-system energy, and a selection aimed squarely at the late-90s Jamaican dance.
