Speed Riddim (2000) – Q45 Records

SPEED RIDDIM produced by Q45 Records in 2000 pairs a sharp, fast-paced dancehall groove with four cuts, led by Capleton’s Uprising and Elephant Man’s Beetle Juice alongside Military Man’s No Title and the instrumental Speed Version by Thomas and E. Williamson. The rhythm later turned up on the Riddim Driven: Speed and Full Moon project in 2001, where the Q45 camp was credited alongside First Name, which helps place this as part of that early-2000s run of energetic Jamaican productions. Capleton and Elephant Man give the line-up its biggest pull, while the version cut keeps the set anchored in the classic riddim style of the era.
