Yes Buju Riddim – Gargamel Music

Yes Buju Riddim finds Gargamel Music in 1998 at the center of a sharp ragga dancehall juggling built around Buju Banton’s name and voice, with two Buju cuts leading the set: Mumma Prem Prem and Yes Buju. Daddy Lizard’s One Ting, Powerman’s Anaconda, Sabba Tooth’s Careless Gal, Black Mice’s Get Serious, and Buba’s Run Dem round out the lineup, with a version tucked in at the end. The riddim is closely tied to Buju Banton himself through the Gargamel imprint, and the blend of established names and tougher street-style vocals gives the release its unmistakable late-90s dancehall feel.
