S 90 Skank Riddim – Unknown Label

S 90 Skank produced by Keith Hudson, Yabby U for Unknown Label in 1974

Released in 1974, S 90 Skank Riddim comes from Keith Hudson and Yabby U on an unknown label and circles around one of the key roots-era Big Youth cuts, S 90 Skank, alongside Augustus Pablo’s Fat Baby, Keith Hudson’s True True To My Heart, and Zap Pow’s Broken Contract. The selector mix gives the riddim a broad 1970s feel, moving between deejay, dub, and vocal versions while keeping the groove tightly rooted in Hudson’s stripped-back style. Big Youth’s S 90 Skank is the best-known cut here, and Pick A Dub also links the rhythm back to Hudson’s later dub work, underlining how central this pattern was to his production run.
