Time Bomb Riddim (2001) – John Dog Records

Time Bomb Riddim – John Dog Records kicks off the 2001 run of the John Dog-produced rhythm, landing a tight four-track slate built for classic reggae/dancehall crossover. Buju Banton’s Perpetrator and Cobra’s Question lead the vocal charge, with Mr. Vegas adding Dem Fraid before it closes on the Time Bomb riddim version. The riddim is also associated with Greensleeves Rhythm Album #20: Time Bomb, a broader 2002 compilation that further places Dem Fraid alongside other takes. John Dog Records’ approach here keeps the instrumental framework punchy and straightforward, giving each artist space to hit cleanly on the same riddim pulse.
