Stink Riddim (1996) – Extra Large Productions

Produced by Extra Large Productions in 1996, Stink Riddim is a sharp dancehall set that pulls together a strong mid-90s lineup with Alley Cat’s Hot Gyal, Baby Cham’s The Mass, Beenie Man’s Ole Dog, Captain Barkey’s Funny Man and Go Go Wine, and Merciless on Gal Dem Gizzada. The riddim also features General Degree, Jigsy King, Spragga Benz, Rude Boy Kelly, Queen Paula and Lady Mackerel, Tony Curtis, and Wayne Wonder with Frisco Kid, giving it a busy clash-ready feel across 14 tracks. It’s one of those classic Xtra Large productions that captures the label’s street-level sound and the era when names like Baby Cham and Beenie Man were pushing hard through the dancehall circuit.
