Weeping Riddim – Unknown Label

Weeping produced by Niney The Observer for Unknown Label in 1974

Weeping Riddim brings together a small but sharp set of early dancehall-era cuts produced by Niney The Observer for an unknown label in 1974, with the tracklist anchored by I-Roy’s Native Land (Caveman Skank) and Water Rate alongside Junior Byles’ Weeping. The selection is a neat example of Niney’s deep roots work, pairing I-Roy’s deejay style with Byles’ more melodic, reflective delivery on the same rhythm. Though the Junior Byles cut is listed from 1978 in the archive, the riddim itself is tied to 1974, and the whole set keeps a tight three-track flow with only two artists involved.

1. I-Roy – Native Land (Caveman Skank) (1974)
