It includes Sean Paul‘s club banger “Like Glue,”which was also featured on his sophomore album “Dutty Rock,” and Notch‘s hit song “Nuttin’ Nuh Go So” amongst others.

A classic riddim

Like the “Bookshelf Riddim”, this is another classic riddim that Tony ‘CD’ Kelly brought to the Dancehall legacy. You must have listened and danced to it at least once in your life time.

It has not been recut as much as the classic 1992 Sly & Robbie‘s “Bam Bam Riddim” that was inspired by a song of the same name recorded by Toots and the Maytals in the 60’s, and has been remade over and over again during the past decades. But you know at some point, even until now, you will eventually buss a “Pon Di River” when it hits the club.

Released as part as the “Riddim Driven” series

The riddim is available for streaming, and purchase on digital platforms. You may click here to preview it now or buy it in digital format.
