Stealing Riddim – Xterminator

Stealing Riddim – Xterminator

Stealing Riddim is a 1998 Xterminator reggae release built around the reworked Stealing Stealing foundation, with Philip “Fatis” Burrell steering the Xterminator sound. The set brings together Sizzla, Capleton, Luciano, Cocoa Tea, and Mikey General, with Sizzla’s Dem A Try A Ting, Luciano’s Ulterior Motive, and Cocoa Tea’s No Faith among the key cuts. Mikey General’s Babylon Cake and Capleton’s Jah Caught Them also give the riddim extra weight, while the crew versions round things out in classic Xterminator style. Burrell’s label was a major force in roots reggae through the 1990s, and this one captures that period when conscious vocals and heavyweight channel one-style rhythms were landing hard.
