Donna Overview

In 1992, a new yard beat started making noise in dancehall. The riddim’s journey began in the busy Kingston studio of Colin Fat Records. Colin Fat, a respected producer and label owner, was known for shaping the sound of early ‘90s dancehall. His label, Colin Fat Records, helped launch the careers of many artists and was behind several big riddims of the era. The creation of this riddim was all about energy. Musicians built a raw, heavy instrumental that set the perfect stage for bashment vibes. The beat was designed to get people moving, and it quickly became the soundtrack for late-night parties across Jamaica. Colin Fat brought together some of the top voices in dancehall for this project. Frankie Paul, often called the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder,” delivered “Fall In Love.” Frankie Paul was already famous for hits like “Sara” and had a huge following thanks to his soulful voice. Louie Culture, known for the classic anthem “Gangalee,” added his own flavor with “Tell Her Fi Move.” Roundhead, a member of the Monster Shack Crew, brought streetwise lyrics and energy on “Buss Whey.” Each artist gave the riddim a new twist, making every track stand out. The combination of hard-hitting beats and strong performances made this release a favorite for selectors and dancers alike. Many fans say this yard beat captured the real bashment spirit of 1992, leaving a lasting mark on dancehall history.
