Black Scorpio’s 2000 You Should Have Known / Right Now Riddim pulls together a heavy early-2000s dancehall lineup with Anthony B, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Capleton, Luciano, George Nooks, Frankie Paul, Josie Mel, Paul Elliot, and Red Rose and Delly Ranks. The rhythm is split between conscious cuts and tougher sounds, with tracks like Capleton’s Right Now, Beenie Man’s Selassie I Word, Luciano’s Injustice, and Bounty Killer’s Explosion giving it real range. It was produced by Maurice Jack Scorpio Johnson for Black Scorpio, the Kingston label and sound system that helped shape plenty of classic dancehall releases. With 12 songs on the tracklist, this one feels like a snapshot of 2000-era Jamaican dancehall, where big names and message tunes sat side by side on the same riddim.
