Vagina Riddim (2000) – John John Records

Vagina Riddim came from Lloyd James Jr. for John John Records and Aweful Music around 1999/2000, and it’s a tight dancehall set with 14 tracks and a strong lineup that includes Lady Saw, Sean Paul, Spragga Benz, Mr. Vegas, Wayne Wonder, Ward 21, and Merciless. The cut that really anchors it for a lot of listeners is Sean Paul’s Mek It Go So Den, while Lady Saw’s Go and Spragga Benz’s Pum Pum Fat add plenty of energy to the sequence. It also folds in crew tracks like Lexxus, Kiprich and Wayne Marshall’s Lashy Beware, plus the instrumental and Xsytement’s Boy No Dweet, giving the riddim a compact, varied feel that reflects the sharp, gritty style John John was known for at the turn of the century.
