Tight Clothes Riddim (1996) – John John Records

Tight Clothes Riddim is a 1996 John John Records dancehall release with six cuts and a strong cast led by Beenie Man and Bounty Killer. The lineup includes Beenie Man’s Any Mr. Man, Bounty Killer’s Warr Beyond Da Stars and Dunn Rivers Falls with Boom Dandi, plus Chuck Fender’s Bad Man Talking, Cobra’s Dead Tonite, and High Plane Drifter’s Woke Up This Morning. It also marks an early turn for Chuck Fender, whose debut single on the riddim helped introduce him through the John John/King Jammys camp. The rhythm has that mid-’90s hardcore dancehall feel, anchored by sharp voicing and straight-to-the-point titles that make the release easy to place in the era.
