Sugar Sugar Riddim – Black Art, Kings Of Kings

Sugar Sugar Riddim – Black Art, Kings Of Kings comes from 1973 and is credited to Lee Scratch Perry and Colin Levy, with The Silvertones’ original Sugar Sugar cut anchoring the set. The riddim later picked up a strong 1998 dancehall run with Beenie Man, Lady Saw, Merciless, Mad Cobra and others, so the release bridges classic roots production and a later-era vocal lineup. The mix of deejays and singers gives it a lively balance, while the original Silvertones track keeps the whole package tied to Perry’s early Black Art sound.
