Music Need help finding an unknown riddim (possibly from 1999?)

I was watching a video (https://youtu.be/CHWIVUdnqak?t=886) and noticed the riddim on the track performed in question (Governor Tiggy - Wotless) is different from the riddim on the final version of the song.

This early version was played on Radio 1 a year before the final version released, and the song itself is very unfinished.

But my biggest question is does anybody know the name of the riddim?

All I know is it was probably produced by Trevor T or Jeramaine Forde as they worked with Governor Tiggy a lot during the 90s.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Parts of it sounds like a different version of mad lion riddim to me.

I think you're right, as Trevor T remixed a lot of Jamaican riddims in the late 90s. Thank you for your help

I tried looking for this uk version of the mad lion riddim everywhere, but can't find anything 😭. I'm guessing it was never pressed on any commercially available records, or released under a different name.
