Rugged Riddim – Manatee Records

1999 dancehall’s Rugged Riddim on Manatee Records gathers A. R. P. and Zebra, Anthony B, Bobo Desert and King D, Clement Kid, Delly Ranks and Major Sample on one tough-cut juggling, with Everybody and Seen The Trinity among the key tunes. The set keeps a tight street level feel and closes with Rugged in version form, which underlines the rhythm’s stripped-back, no-frills approach. Manatee Records handles the production, and the mix of established voices like Anthony B with sharper one-off combinations gives the release a lively late-’90s dancehall edge.
