Strive Riddim – Get A Way

Produced by Get A Way in 1997, Strive Riddim is a compact ragga dancehall set that pairs Chippy Ranks on Bad Man and Under Pants with El Paso on Strive and Food A Rama on Boy Gonna Die, before closing with the version cut. The five-track release keeps the focus tight, with Chippy Ranks carrying the biggest share of the vocal spotlight and the instrumental version giving the rhythm room to breathe. It’s a rare mid-90s dancehall piece with just four artists, which gives it a lean, no-frills feel and makes the individual songs easy to remember.
