Rougher Yet Riddim, also known as Love Bump Riddim, is a roots-to-dancehall showcase linked here to various labels and a long list of producers including Coxsone Dodd, King Tubby, King Jammy, Bobby Digital, Niney The Observer, and Linval Thompson. The selection reaches from the late 1960s into the 1990s, with tracks like Slim Smith’s original Rougher Yet, Al Campbell’s Give The People What They Want, Admiral Tibet’s Curfew In The Area and Nah Sleep A Jail House, and Anthony Malvo’s Honey Love helping trace how the rhythm kept finding new life across decades. The set mixes vocal cuts with dub versions such as Break Down The Dub, Dub Girl, and Rougher Dub, so it plays like a compact history of the riddim rather than a single-era compilation, with that classic Studio One bassline carrying the whole sequence.
