48 HOURS RIDDIM was produced and arranged by Paul “Zico” Nelson for OUR HOUSE MUZIK in 1999.
48 Hours Overview
The 48 Hours Riddim dropped in Jamaica in 1999 and quickly became a huge yard anthem. It was recorded at a time when dancehall was full of energy, and this release showed just how strong local studios were that year. The riddim brought together some well-known voices. Anthony B gave us “Needy Greedy” on this project. By then, Anthony B was already famous for songs like “Fire Pon Rome” and was known for his powerful lyrics and energetic delivery. ARP, a group with strong harmonies, performed “Lion Sleeps.” Don Yute, who had worked with artists like Sean Paul in his career, came with “Thug Style Appeal.” Family Tree added “Mad Dem Anthem,” and Serial Kid gave fans “Shy Guy Look.” Zeno also featured on the riddim with “Stop Chat.” Each artist brought their own style, but the riddim tied everything together with its smooth, danceable beat. The sound engineer played a big role, making sure every track sounded crisp and lively. Their skills in the studio helped make the riddim stand out, letting every artist shine. The 48 Hours Riddim showed what was possible when talented artists, skilled engineers, and the right riddim came together in a Jamaican studio. It became a favorite at dances and on the radio, and it still gets played today. This release is a true example of the power of yard music in 1999.
