Skokian Riddim, issued in 1987, pulls together cuts linked to Hyman Wright, Bobby Digital and Lester Sterling across Ragamuffin, Ottey’s, Jah Life, Kangal and Digital-B, with a lineup that mixes singers and deejays in classic late-80s style. Admiral Bailey’s Two Year Old, Beeper Man’s Up Full, Carlton Livingston’s Armageddon and Glen Washington’s Come Away are among the key tracks, while the riddim itself is also known as Two Year Old and is tied to the African Beat version. It has that busy, sure-footed dancehall feel that lets different voices ride the same rhythm without losing momentum, and the mix of names here gives it a real archive feel for the era.
