We Run Things produced by Witty, Norman Wilson, Whitfield Henry for Gold Disc, Music Master, Witty in 1987
We Run Things Riddim, credited to Witty and linked to Gold Disc, Music Master and Witty, is a 1987 early dancehall set with a strong mix of singers and deejays. The lineup brings together Nitty Gritty’s We Run Things, Sluggy Ranks on Road Block, Junior Wilson’s What Is Your Name, Colin Roach’s This Is My Letter, and Tonto Irie’s Ram It And Jam It, with Trevor Sparks and Ugly Man also in the cut. It’s a version of the Peanie Peanie Riddim and was built in that late-’80s style where the rhythm carries both melodic vocals and sharper chanter energy. Witty’s production here gives the release a lively, streetwise feel, and Nitty Gritty’s title track anchors it as the obvious centerpiece.
