Skettel Riddim (1996) – Big Ship Records

Skettel Riddim lands as a tight 1996 Dancehall set from Big Ship Records, with just four cuts and an instrumental version keeping the focus on the rhythm itself. Delta’s Nothing Nah Go Gwan and Grindsman’s Dem Ask Fi War are the two main vocal sides, while Steven Mcgregor (Di Genius) closes with School Done Rule and the bare riddim sits right in the middle for a clean version flow. Big Ship’s early catalogue was closely tied to the McGregor family, and that connection gives this release a distinctly Kingston-era studio feel. Compact, straightforward, and built for replay, it’s the kind of mid-90s dancehall package that works as both a singles showcase and a proper rhythm showcase.
