The Gripper Riddim – Fashion Records 1995

The Gripper Riddim is a 1995 Fashion Records dancehall set with nine tracks and a strong lineup led by General Levy, Top Cat, Ricky General, Starkey Banton, and Peter Hunningale. Chucky Star’s Almighty Father and General Levy’s Levy Come Again are among the standout cuts, alongside Ricky General’s Mi A Warn Dem and the instrumental from Sly and Mafia. The release sits right in the mid-’90s ragga moment, with that sharp, stripped-back Fashion sound, and it also connects to the broader Sly and Mafia catalogue that shaped a lot of the label’s dancehall output.
