Stress Riddim – El Paso 1998

Stress Riddim – El Paso is a 1998 dancehall set that pulls together Ghost, Hawkeye, Lady G, Mad Cobra, Richie Stephens, Singing Melody and Thriller U, with Ghost’s When I Need You, Hawkeye’s Stress, Mad Cobra’s Stay Deh and the Singing Melody and Thriller U combination That Thing among the key cuts. The riddim is credited to E. J. Robinson under the El Paso name, and it also includes preview tracks from Poisonous and Thriller U alongside the version cut. It’s a compact late-’90s dancehall release with nine tracks total and a nice mix of singjay and vocal work, leaning on strong names from the era while keeping the focus on the core Stress rhythm.
