Southside Riddim – Roar Records

Southside Riddim came through on Roar Records in 1998 with a compact eight-track dancehall set that featured Archa General, Black Mice, Blacka Don, Judge Dready, Juki Ranks, and Locust riding the same cut. Blacka Don turns up twice here with I Need and Wuk Fi Hours, while Lions Den Way, Gyal Dem Want, and Strawberry help give the juggling a sharp late-90s street feel. The version closes it out cleanly, keeping the focus on the instrumental’s driving groove and the voiced hooks from the lineup.
