Rx 300 Riddim – Rattler Records

A few names do the heavy lifting here, with Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Elephant Man and Sizzla all lining up on Rattler Records’ 2003 RX 300 cut, a tidy mid-2000s dancehall package produced by Peter Jackson. The tracklist keeps the focus on straight-to-the-point singles rather than any big concept, and the pair-up on “Twisted” with Buju, Bounty Killer and Galaxy P gives the riddim its most obvious flash of heavyweight combination energy. Around it, “The Gift, ” “Everyday” and “De Veranda” keep the set in that tough, street-facing lane, with Ghost and Harry Toddler adding a bit of lighter contrast. It’s a compact 10-track run, and the version sits the voices on a lean, driving rhythm with a clipped bounce and a bassline that stays firm underneath the chants.
