QUAKIE RIDDIM produced by GREENSLEEVES RECORDS 1999
Quakie Overview
GREENSLEEVES RECORDS, a major force in reggae and dancehall music, was behind the release of the Quakie Riddim in 1999. Known for bringing out some of the best sounds from Jamaica, GREENSLEEVES RECORDS has released classic albums from artists like Yellowman and Barrington Levy, and their catalog is recognized worldwide for its influence on the genre. The Quakie Riddim captured the spirit of late 1990s dancehall. Beenie Man & Buccaneer delivered “Hot Bwoy,” a track that brought together two of dancehall’s energetic voices. Beenie Man, sometimes called the “King of Dancehall,” is known for his Grammy-winning album “Art and Life” and a long list of hit singles. Buccaneer, famous for his pirate-themed style, added his unique flair to the riddim. Daddy Screw’s “Lipstick Hicky” also stood out on the release. Daddy Screw is well respected for his lively delivery and has performed at major reggae festivals around the world. General Degree, with “Sweet Caan Done,” added another layer to the set. General Degree is known for hits like “Traffic Blocking,” which made waves in the dancehall charts during the 1990s. The mixing on Quakie Riddim kept the energy high, and the set remains a vivid reminder of dancehall’s 1999 trends. Even now, the riddim brings back memories of that exciting era.
