Thumbs Up Riddim – Vasco Production

Thumbs Up Riddim is a 1998 dancehall juggling from Vasco Production, built around eight cuts and a tight lineup of island voices that includes Captain Barkey, Delly Ranks, Future Troubles, Harry Toddler, Saba Tooth, Stevie Face, Roundhead, Bad Dog, Black Rat and Max Wayne. Standout selections like Fidel Castro, How Yuh A Gwaan So, Joe Grind and Hot Gal give the set its rough late-90s street energy, while Harry Toddler turns up twice with Model and the trio cut Hot Gal. Vasco Production’s name sits on a lively mid-era dancehall release that leans on collaboration and sharp singjay hooks rather than one big lead anthem, which is exactly what gives Thumbs Up its identity.
