Soap Riddim is a late-1980s various-label dancehall juggling tied to a wide circle of producers, including Courtney Cole, Tommy Thomas, King Jammy, Steely and Clevie, John John, and Mafia and Fluxy, with the post pointing to a 1989 release year. The track mix leans across roots-to-dancehall territory, with Beenie Man’s Beenie Man - Tata Fool, Bunny General’s Mi Gone Gone (Come Back), Admiral Bailey’s Legalized It, and Bounty Killer’s If The War among the standout cuts named in the lineup. It also pulls in artists from different eras, so the riddim plays more like a cross-section of the sound than a single-artist project, with later versions sitting alongside the original late-’80s selections.
