Diamonds & Thrills

Sick digital tune by Melody Beecher on Nura 7"

Killer bad girl digital tune. One guy giving her diamonds and the other giving her thrills. "He gives me diamonds, you give me thrills...you give me what I need, he pays the bills." Killer Riddim, Killer lyrics = top notch digital tune.

Some Gyal A Run Street A Night....

Next cut to this riddim is Tony Culture & Stamma Ranks - Remember
Jah (Young Blood 7")

Can't Tek The Rip Off Possie

"Rip Off Possie" (Dance Hall Time LP, '86)
One of two killer Hopeton Junior tunes on this killer lp (scarface label). The other Hopeton Jr track is is "Tribulation Nuh Easy." Artwork on the front cover is done by the late-great Limonious. I love tunes of this production style, which includes a slightly depressing piano melody on top of some tight drums. listen

A Dat She Want

"A Dat She Want" (Ghetto Youth 7", '86)
O'Neil Dyer's second appearance onthe Ghetto Youth label, the other is "Night Shift" and is equally as nice. The lyrics are very smilar to that of "Me No Wah No Bun" by Oral John. "Take her out of darker and put her inna light." Both tunes deal with refining a "bad ways" woman, however, the effort is in vain again. listen

Busy Body

"Busy Body" (Rythem Track 12", 1985)
Performed by Anthony Selassie with Tony Tuff - "Starvation" on the flip, this is the 2nd and only (to my knowledge) Rythem track 12" released in the 80s. Again, like "Big Bout Ya," production is ahead of its time for a '85 release. Criss lick of the Greenbay Killing/Youthman riddim.
