Unknown (039) Riddim came out in 1970 on Black Scorpio, produced by Maurice Johnson, and it keeps things tight with just two cuts: General Trees’ Dem Nah Bawl and Ken Boothe’s Captain Of Your Ship. The pairing gives the riddim a neat balance of dancehall energy and smoother vocal style, with Boothe bringing his seasoned singer’s touch against General Trees’ deejay delivery. Black Scorpio would later become one of the better-known names in Jamaican sound and record culture, and this early release sits neatly in that lineage.
