Rougher Yet Riddim – Jammys Records

Rougher Yet Riddim comes from Jammy’s Records in the 1980s, and this one pulls together a strong line of dancehall voices over a classic old-school groove. Anthony Malvo’s Honey Love, Anthony Red Rose’s Got To Be Heartical, Dennis Brown’s Sharing The Night, and Bounty Killer’s Know How To Survive are among the key cuts, with Pan Head, Pinchers, Sanchez and Risto Benjie, and Simpleton also adding sharp versions to the set. The rhythm traces back to the Rougher Yet style first associated with Slim Smith, and Jammy’s turns that foundation into a rugged late-80s dancehall showcase with plenty of weight and melody.
