Rock Me Riddim (1996) – Mikey Boops

Produced by Mikey Boops in 1996, Rock Me Riddim brings a compact reggae set anchored by Rick Wayne’s Lose Your Love and the Starkey Banton and John Junior combination on Cant Understand. The riddim sits in that mid-90s dancehall-reggae pocket where the groove does the talking, with just two cuts listed here but enough character to leave a mark. Mikey Boops’ production keeps the focus on strong vocal delivery and a tight, no-frills rhythm bed, which suits both songs well and gives the release a clean, straight-to-the-point feel.
