Saint Riddim – Fashion Records 1997
Saint Overview
In the late 1990s, dancehall was full of energy, and sound clashes were an important part of the culture. The Saint Riddim, released in 1997, was one of the yard beats that selectors loved to use in these clashes. Its heavy bass and sharp drums made it a favorite on sound systems, and it quickly became a memorable part of the dancehall scene. The Saint Riddim featured three standout tracks. Ras Harry Chapman brought his song "Free Up The Herb," delivering a strong message that matched the riddim’s tough style. Saint, who is also known for his work as a producer, added his own touch with the track "Instrumental." His production skills helped give the riddim its unique sound, making it stand out from other dancehall releases at the time. Sandeeno added more flavor with "Flexing Lean." Sandeeno is well known in the reggae and dancehall world, and over his career he has worked with respected producers and released tracks that have reached fans worldwide. His performance on this riddim showed his smooth delivery and ability to ride any beat. The mix of these three artists over the Saint Riddim created a standout moment for bashment back then. The riddim’s strong presence made it a weapon for selectors and a lasting favorite for dancehall fans.
