Answer riddim

Cut at Studio One for Coxsone Dodd and first heard as "Never Let Go" by Slim Smith and The Uniques, a heavy bassline under a horn figure, with Smith singing over it. About a decade later the deejay Lone Ranger voiced "The Answer" on it; that record made his name and renamed the rhythm, and it has been known as the Answer riddim ever since.

It has kept returning across every subsequent dancehall era, which is the point of it: the rhythm outlived both of the records that defined it.
