Too Hype produced by Winston Riley for Techniques in 1983
Too Hype Riddim from Techniques was produced by Winston Riley in 1983 and lines up three strong vocal cuts from George Nooks, Gregory Isaacs, and Mykal Rose. Gregory Isaacs’ We Had A Quarrel and George Nooks’ L. O. V. E. Is Love give the set its smoother side, while Mykal Rose’s Jail House It Ram brings a rougher roots-to-dancehall edge. Riley was the force behind Techniques and one of the key producers in Jamaican music, and this set shows the label’s early-80s knack for pairing a focused riddim with voices that each bring a different shade to it.
Too Hype Tracklist:
- George Nooks – L.O.V.E. Is Love
