The Exit Riddim collects vocal cuts over the 1985 Jammy’s rhythm of the same name, with production tied to King Jammy and a wider set of labels and producers including Ital International, Photographer, Stereo One, Kangal, Intelitec, 56 Hope Road, Original Sounds, Romantic, Gold Shop, and others. The tracklist brings in Dennis Brown’s The Exit, Cocoa Tea’s Yun Pang, Courtney Melody’s Screechie Across The Border, Junior Delgado’s What A Heat, and Shelly Thunder’s New Ruler, with the Dennis Brown cut giving the riddim its anchor. Often linked to the Screechie Across The Border base, it sits firmly in the mid-80s dancehall era and shows how Jammy’s sound moved across different artists and labels while keeping a hard, rolling studio feel.
