EXPLOSION BLACK ALL STARS VOL 2 – BLACK SCORPIO 1988
Explosion Black All Stars Vol 2 – Black Scorpio Overview
The yard beat behind Explosion Black All Stars Vol 2 started in the studios of Black Scorpio, a legendary name in dancehall. The sound engineer, known for his sharp ear and clean mixing, worked late nights to get the riddim just right. He layered drums, bass, and keys, giving the beat a heavy, rolling groove that’s perfect for the dance. The producer, Black Scorpio’s founder Maurice Johnson, is famous for shaping the sound of 80s and 90s dancehall and pushing new talent into the spotlight. Once the riddim was ready, it was time for the artists to step in. General Leon came through with “Laugh After Them Coolie,” bringing his signature style and playful lyrics. General Trees, known for his fast-talking flow and the hit “Mini Bus,” delivered “Bend Cock Up,” adding energy and humor. Lady G, one of dancehall’s most respected female voices, dropped “Fit In A Body,” showing her lyrical power and smooth delivery. Leroy Smart, a veteran with classics like “Ballistic Affair,” gave us “Rough Mr Smart,” full of confidence. Pan Head & Thriller U teamed up on “Run Down Man,” mixing rough deejay style with Thriller U’s sweet singing. This mix is running the dance right now. When the yard beat drops, the crowd goes wild. The songs are fresh, but the vibe is pure dancehall—made for replay, made for the dance.
