Top Shatta Riddim – Colin Fat Records

Produced by Colin Fat Records in 1998, Top Shatta is a lively old-school dancehall riddim loaded with sharp voicings from Captain Barkley, Round Head, Mr. Vegas, Ghost, Harry Toddler, Boom Dandymite and Buccaneer, Elephant Man, and Mad Cobra. The set moves through standout cuts like Weed Is Life, Sweet Pineapple, Wave Yu Hand, Run De Place, Top Shatta, and Rupaul System, with Ghost doubling up on the riddim for extra weight. It captures that late-’90s Jamaican dancehall run where Colin Fat kept the productions heavy and the artist lineup packed with personalities, making this one a proper sound-system favorite.
