Dancehall ID Request

I was cleaning around the house listening to an old dancehall tape and I can't quite remember this. Sounds like Super C. But the track and version escapes me. Comes in after 2-3 seconds. Sorry for poor sound quality. Just used my phone to record off the tape.

Anyone?

    Can't listen to it cause 4shared is a pile of donkey doings. Try minus.com

    Definitely Super Cat. Don't know what the song is, but it sounds like he's calling out everyone who he felt dissed him (Louie Rankin, Cutty Ranks, probably goes on to mention Ninjaman).

    sounds exactly like supercat but its not - its apache scratchy.
    tune is called 'Link up' from a riddim comp called 'Ah Wah' (shelleys records 1991)

    Damn, nice work! I found it on this mix at 24:00.

    What else do you know about Apache Scratchy? I know that Supercat went by Wild Apache at times. Was Scratchy just another clone?

    Thx Mek,

    I'll need to hunt down that comp. Or at least an mp3 copy.

    I remember there were a couple of decent versions off that riddim. Looking at the comp tracks I remember this one as well (which is on the same tape I was listening to yesterday).






    But thanks guys for the help. Appreciate it.

    Hogg : Indian guy living in UK as far as i know. biggest tune was 'the stepper' on cutter riddim.
    whole thing had me confused early 90s - wild apache/apache indian/apache scratchy.

    DOR : yep, couple more decent tunes on same comp, will rip mp3 later when i find the wax.
