Murderer / Hot Milk Riddim (Jah Life)

The riddim is based on Hot Milk's bassline, a famous instrumental cut by legendary Studio One keybordist Jackie Mitoo (1948-1990), a former Skatalites, Soul Brothers and Soul Vendors member just to name a few bands he was part of. Lots of riddims he created became all time classics in Reggae Music : Shank I Sheck, Drum Song, Ba Ba Boum, Death In The Arena, Bobby Babylon, etc...

This is a rip from the 2003 (or 2004 ?) 7" vinyl reissue on the US label Jah Life (or Jah Life.com as on the labels) which is, with Wackie's, one of the best american Reggae labels ever.
I added the Jackie Mitoo track and another one from Rakim & Barrington Levy (not the best remix of Murderer I've heard...).

Barrington Levy & Jah Thomas - Tribute To Moa Anbessa / Nigger Kojak & Liza - Penitentiary (Nigger Kojak / Moa Anbessa)

This is a killer combination of Barrington Levy and Jah Thomas, produced by Floyed Anthony Perch (born 30th september 1959, Kingston JA) better known as Nigger Kojak, in 1980. He first started by the name of Pretty Boy Floyd doing stage shows in the Ghetto's (Waterhouse I suppose), but after cuttin' his hair his fans nicknamed him as Kojak and encouraged him to do recording, so he took the name of Nigger Kojak (source : back cover of Kojak & Liza Showcase LP).

No need to talk about Barrington Levy as I guess everybody know him, but Jah Thomas is less known than his partner of the cut, check this little bio/ itv made when Greensleeves released a 12" Rulers Compilation dedicated to his past productions...

I have added the Penitentiary cut as a bonus, it's on the same riddim
Produced by Nigger Kojak
Rhythm Laid at Channel One
