Daddy Freddy - My Granny 7'' [198x Youth Promotion Original Pressing]

Part 3 of my Youth Promotion posts... one of my favorite labels of all
time. Created by Sugar Minott as a coop for fostering up and coming
ghetto youth, YP and Sugar can be credited for discovering some of the
biggest talents to come out of the 80's. This was probably the only
label at the time that could claim it was "for the artists, by the
artists." Gotta believe in the youth....

Also if you haven't seen it, check out this old clip from a BBC show
featuring Daddy Freddy breaking the records for fastest rap. Peep white
dude dancing LOL!

Thriller U - Hide And Peep 7'' [198x Youth Promotion Original Pressing]

This one go out to all the shy girls in the dance giving the guys good
eye contact but then dissapearing in the crowd. You fellows feel me?!

Leroy Gibbons - Hold It Down 12'' [198x Two Friends Original Pressing]

Rare tune by another unde-rated singer... tuffness! Gibbons style for
some reason reminds me a lot of one of my other favorite artists,
Derrick Parker. Picked this gem up still sealed after 20 years! Version
is included....


Hotness

Chuck Turner - No Love 7'' [1987 Dennis Star Original Pressing]

Turner singing his heart out on a crucial Heavenless riddim for lonely lovers-


Hey

Spanner Banner - Life Goes On 7'' [198x Techniques Original Pressing]

One of my favorite Things and Time riddim version, Spanner's sweet
voice is deadly on this one. Not suprising being that this guy's
brothers just happen to be Pliers and Richie Spice!
Chune guaranteed to put a smile on your face :)


Positivity!

Joe Mannix - Walk And Look Back 7'' [1988 Parish Original Pressing]

Charles Bronson, Rambo, and Eddie Murphy have what in common?
They are all watched by Mr. Mannix!

Hopeton James - Going To The Cemetery 7'' [2007 Rockers Master International Original Pressing]

This blog is mainly for 80's/90's dancehall tunes strictly... but I had
to share this one because it has such a classic style and is a straight
soundboy killah version of Going To The Chapel! Requested by my ninja Yuma... big up Humboldt massive! Rewind Rewind-

Pad Anthony - Mi No In A It 7'' [198x Taurus Original Pressing]

Tubby original Hill and Gully riddim... madness!

Serious response to Admiral Bailey's Punany track....
Junie could def hang with the big boys.

Ooh Wee

Tanto Metro - Flat Belly Man 7'' [1987 Redman International Original Pressing]

Hard to beleive that this is the same dude that would later go on to
form the horrible duet with Devonte. Pure dancehall vibes here-


Fat Belly Men Over Here.... We Eatin'

Brigadier Jerry - One Dance Story 7'' [1986 Supreme Original Pressing]

Hillarious song about a single innocent dance turning into a life of
misery stuck with a spoiled woman. Tune was massive when it first came out...

Also released on a 12'' on the Witty label... though I prefer this label art for sure!
Records a little beat up, so not the best quality here sorry-


Ragga

Lyrical - Punanie Expert 7'' [198x Kesta Original Pressing]

Very kind of Lyrical to make this tune in my honor!


Poonie

Conroy Smith - Bush Lady 7'' [1988 Dennis Star Original Pressing]

She give me a drink of her meeeeeeeedicine!
Rub her hands all ova my body...
Give me health, strength, and energy!

Closest thing you'll get to this in Frisco is a happy finish at an
oriental massage parlor in the Tenderloin! One of the downfalls of
living in the big city.

public urination, I've seen it all!

Gregory Isaacs - Chisholm Avenue 7'' [198x Redman International Original Pressing]

Digi roots track by the one and only. One of the smoothest voices in the reggae game hands down.
