RIZZLA RIDDIM produced by JR PRODUCTIONS 1999

Rizzla Overview

In 1999, the Rizzla Riddim made a big impact at dancehall events across Jamaica. The project came from JR PRODUCTIONS, a label known for working with big names like Buju Banton. Under the guidance of producer Junior Reid, JR PRODUCTIONS helped shape the sound of late 1990s dancehall, bringing strong, club-ready rhythms to the scene. The recording process for Rizzla Riddim was handled by a skilled sound engineer, who made sure each track sounded crisp and energetic. The riddim’s clean mix and lively beats made it perfect for dancehall selectors and party crowds. Attention to detail in the studio helped the music stand out at every dance. Three artists gave standout performances on this riddim. Elephant Man delivered “Political Fall,” bringing his energetic style that would later earn him international hits like “Pon De River Pon De Bank.” Junior Reid, well known for his work with Black Uhuru and the classic “One Blood,” added “Millenium” to the project, bringing his signature voice and experience. Version’s “Rizzla Riddim” showed off the instrumental’s strength, letting the riddim shine on its own. Even today, selectors still pull out the Rizzla Riddim when they want real old-school dancehall vibes. The combination of expert production, sharp engineering, and top artists makes this release a lasting favorite in dancehall history.
