Sorrel Riddim – Interscope Records

Here’s a little oddball corner of 2002 dancehall: Interscope Records on a two-track Sorrel Riddim, with Ludacris’ “Dj Menace Refix – Fatty Girl” and Ms. Jade’s “Feel The Girl” carrying the load. The pull here is less about a big cast and more about the novelty of a major-label hip-hop crossover landing in riddim form, with Ludacris’ cut bringing the sharper punch and Ms. Jade’s side leaning into a more playful, sultrier groove. It’s a short release, just two tracks, but that stripped-down setup leaves the production exposed in a way that suits the era, when labels were still testing how far dancehall could travel outside the usual Jamaican circuit. Sorrel Riddim is credited to Interscope Records and listed with a 2002 release year.
