PUNNANY TEGEREG RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES RECORDS 1990
Punnany Tegereg Overview
In 1990, SHOCKING VIBES RECORDS released a yard session tape that showed the real power of Jamaican studios. This tape used the Punnany Tegereg riddim, a street anthem sound that was already famous in dancehall. The riddim gave each artist a strong base, but what made this session special was how it mixed hardcore deejay styles with smooth singing. It was not just about one style—it was a blend that brought in other genres like lovers rock and even R&B. Beenie Man brought his energy to “Success.” At this time, Beenie Man was already known as a young star in dancehall, and later he would win a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2001. His style on this tape was fast and confident, matching the riddim’s tough street feel. Firehouse Crew played “Version,” showing their skills as a top backing band in Jamaica. They have worked with many big names in reggae and dancehall. Little lenny gave fans “punaney tegereg,” while Little Lenny sang “Good Loving.” Little Lenny’s song “Gun Inna Baggy” was a big hit in the early 1990s, showing his talent for catchy dancehall hooks. Michael Fabulous added “Blow My Mind,” bringing a smooth vocal style to the mix. The producer, SHOCKING VIBES RECORDS, was known for working with stars like Beenie Man and for shaping the sound of 1990s dancehall. Their work helped push Jamaican music to new places.
