Unda Wata Riddim (1999) – K-Licious Music

Originally released in 1998 and often filed under 1999 dancehall, Unda Wata Riddim on K-Licious Music is a sharp, artist-packed juggling from Tony Kelly and Cardiff Butt that pulls together some of the era’s biggest voices. The set runs from Red Rat and Goofy’s All In For Dat and Sean Paul’s Excite Me to Buju Banton’s Di Woman Dem Fat, Beenie Man’s Kingston Hot, Machel Montano’s Big Fat Fish and Lady Saw’s Stale Ride, with an instrumental version included for DJs and selectors. It captures that late-90s K-Licious sound: bright, fast-moving, and built for replay, with the label’s run helping make Tony Kelly one of the key names behind dancehall’s commercial peak.
