The Icon Riddim came out in 1999 from Cave and keeps things tight with just five cuts around the same dancehall groove. Action Fire opens with Galingo, while Little Hero’s No One In This World and Merciless’ Roots Alone bring the strongest names in the set, alongside Sandra Melody’s Hot Gal and Computer Paul’s title track. It’s a compact, rare-style showcase rather than a sprawling compilation, and the lineup gives it a real late-90s Kingston feel. Computer Paul is credited with the production here, which helps explain the clean, stripped-back approach that lets each voice ride the rhythm without much clutter.
