Caan Cook Riddim – Shocking Vibes 1993
Caan Cook Overview
The Caan Cook Riddim session from 1993 is a strong example of how a studio hand can shape the sound of dancehall. The riddim’s tight, energetic groove became a favorite among selectors that year. The producer behind this session is not widely credited, but the consistency and quality of the recording show a skilled hand at the controls. This session brought together some of dancehall’s most exciting voices. Beenie Man’s “No Matter Di Money” stands out with his lively delivery. At this time, Beenie Man was already making a name for himself, and he would later become known as the “King of Dancehall.” Frankie Paul adds his smooth voice to “Come On Baby.” Frankie Paul was famous for hits like “Worries in the Dance,” and his soulful style shines through here. Frisco Kid brings energy to “The News,” while Judas adds grit with “Badman.” Lady P’s “Red Light” gives a powerful female perspective, adding balance to the line-up. Snagga Puss contributes both “Caan Cook” and “Nasty Boys,” showing his versatility. Tanto Metro’s “Borrow Clothes” is another highlight, and the “Caan Cook — Instrumental” lets the riddim itself take center stage. This yard session tape captured the spirit of 1993’s bashment scene. The mix of artists and the strong riddim made it a street favorite and a lasting piece of dancehall history.
