Sniper Riddim (1997) – Jet Star Music X TP Records

Sniper Riddim is a 1997 Jet Star Music x TP Records dancehall set that keeps the focus tight with a compact lineup of five cuts, including Determine’s Dilly Dolly, Elephant Man’s One And Move, Scare Dem Crew’s Bad Man Nuh Dress Like Girl, Screechie Joe’s Money Tree, and Honorebel’s Who Dis Mi Crew. The release has that late-90s street-ready energy, with Elephant Man and Scare Dem Crew bringing the most immediate punch, while Determine adds one of the sharper hooks in the batch. It’s a lean various-artist format rather than a sprawling package, and that makes the riddim’s sound and the artists’ personalities come through fast. Jet Star’s long-running reggae and dancehall imprint gives it an extra bit of catalog weight.
