Riddim: General

Producer: Lloyd “John John” James, Jr.

Terry Ganzie never achieved broader recognition stateside the way his contemporaries like Buju Banton or even Terror Fabulous did, but he had a hell of a run in the early ’90s, voicing most the era’s biggest riddims (many on Penthouse Records). Badman tune for the ages right here.

Additional Listening:

• Leroy & Rocky, “Love Me Girl” (1968): A small part of Leroy Sibbles’ prodigious output, this provided the foundation for the General riddim.

• Terry Ganzie, “Send Dem Come” (1993): Some more of the Outlaw, this time over the Far East riddim (though a different version than Ninja Man rode on “Nice Up the Lawn”).

• Terry Ganzie performs at Peter Metro’s club in Kingston
