Sick Riddim – Secret Rival

Sick Riddim is a 1995 dancehall set produced by Secret Rival Music, featuring five cuts from seven artists and a sharp mid-’90s ragga lineup. Chuck Fender and Mikey Merican open with Big Gun, while Powerman turns in Rappa Dappa, and the heavier pairings like Sluggy Ranks with Tuffest on Weed Man and Terrible Cat with Sluggy Ranks on Sound Boy Killer give the riddim its rough edge. Raggatuffin Marcus also brings Empty Barrel to the project. Secret Rival Music has long been associated with clean, direct production out of the reggae and dancehall circuit, and this release sits neatly in that lane: compact, streetwise, and built around hard vocals over a tight, simple rhythm.
