Twin City Riddim – Two Friends, Digital-B

Twin City produced by Michael Bennett, Bobby Digital, Michael Jemeison for Two Friends, Digital-B in 1988

Twin City Riddim came out in 1988 on Two Friends and Digital-B, produced by Michael Bennett, Bobby Digital and Michael Jemeison. The set pulls together a strong late-’80s lineup, with Brian Gold and Tony Gold on It’s Been So Long, Cocoa Tea on On Top of the World, Gregory Isaacs on Meet Me at the Same Corner, and Shabba Ranks on Haffi Kill Me Dead, mixing smooth singers with a sharper dancehall edge. Sugar Minott turns up on the 1989 cut Breaking Up, while Home T, King Everald, Little Twitch, Lady English and Miss Linda and Mr. Churchill help round out a session that sits squarely in the digital era. Bobby Digital was just establishing Digital-B in 1988, and this release reflects that early run with a clean, programmed backing and a lineup built for both melody and deejay impact.
