Tribal War Riddim – Lion Paw

Tribal War Riddim – Lion Paw is a 2002 dancehall release built around the tribal-war style riddim, with Capleton’s In This Time and John Holt’s Tribal War leading the vocal charge. Backed by the Lion Paw label, the lineup also pulls in heavyweight roots/dancehall voices like Luciano on I Am That Man and Turbulence delivering Never Die, giving the riddim a mix of militant energy and message-forward phrasing. Standout moments include George Nooks and Louie Culture’s No More War and Junior Reid’s Got To Be True, both of which keep the rhythm’s chanty momentum front and center. Produced under the Lion Paw banner and credited to Michael Johnson and Ian Williams, this set leans into call-and-response intensity rather than flashy experimentation.
