African Rock Riddim – Massive B 1997
African Rock Overview
The party scene of 1997 was bold and full of energy. The African Rock Riddim brought this mood to life. The backdrop was lively, with people moving together, feeling the rebellious spirit of the time. The music matched the attitude—strong, confident, and ready for anything. On this riddim, some of dancehall’s most famous voices made their mark. Alley Cat brought his track "Woman Fi Have Batty," giving the crowd a catchy hook to sing along to. Beenie Man, known for his global hit "Who Am I (Sim Simma)," delivered "Brand" with his usual charm and skill. Burro Banton, a respected veteran in reggae, added his deep voice to "Charming," keeping the energy high. Frisco Kid’s "A No Your Fault" and Ninjaman’s "Set Speed" both kept the party moving. Ninjaman, famous for his rapid-fire lyrics and stage presence, added a tough edge to the night. Each artist brought their own style, but together they created a sound that was pure 1997 dancehall. The riddim was built by African Star, a label known for supporting top dancehall talent. African Star Records made sure the sound was crisp and the beats were strong. The party backdrop and the African Rock Riddim will always echo the fire of 1997. The music, the artists, and the crowd all came together to create a moment that still lives on in dancehall history.
