Sister Chinna - Give Me Jah Jah 7'' [1987 Sunset Original Pressing]

Conscious lyrics by the ram dance woman over the Punany riddim... how ironic! Slackness bun!


Johnny Osbourne - Afe Tan Ya So 7'' [198x Incredible Original Pressing]

This truly is an incredible (no pun intended) track. Great riddim put together by Jr Delgado and Crichton (owner of Intelitec label), which is so rootsy and dark that it sounds very Jah Shaka influenced. One of my favorite Osbourne digi tracks... or any digikal tracks for that matter. On top of it all, the version mix is just as unique and ruff as the vocal side. Do yourself a favor and add this to your music library, you can thank me later!



Leroy Gibbons - What's The Name Of The Sound/Reverend Badoo - Cocaine Tek Over 12'' [198x Jah Jah International Original Pressing]

Nice 12'' with a different mix of Gibbons' big tune which originally appeared on the Arrows label in 1987. Badoo's cut is over the same riddim, which sounds close to Heavenless. Hard to come by record.





Robert French - Ruff Tuff 7'' [198x Ffrench Original Pressing]

One of the better Modern Girl riddim cuts out there in my opinion...

General Trees - Professional Footballer 7'' [198x Waterhouse Original Pressing]

Dedicated to La Roja's thumping of Italy in the 2012 Euro Cup. Trees professes his love for soccer and even compares himself to Zico and Mardona! Great riddim by Tubbys as well in this track about the most popular and beautiful sport in the world. Can't wait for 2014 World Cup!


Yami Bolo - The Revolution 7'' [199x Soul Survivor Original Pressing]

Crucial 90's version of Baltimore riddim originally by the Tamlins in 1981, I believe. Classic Yami style instrumental and singing. Hot hot!


Steve Knight - Blow Your Nose (And Not Your Mind) 7'' [198x Ridim Force Original Pressing]

What!? Anti-drug, synthesized digi, Trodding Through The Jungle (with chalice in hand) riddim!! Another tuff tuff download not to be passed up... clash killah mash up di competition!
