Ak 47 Special Overview

In 1990, the Ak 47 Special Riddim became a true yard anthem, especially through its popular session tape. This riddim is known for its high energy and catchy beat, which made it a favorite in dancehall circles. The track builder, 1990 - CAPRICORN, shaped the riddim with a strong melodic flow and a driving rhythm, making it easy for artists to bring their own style. One of the most exciting things about Ak 47 Special Riddim is how it blends dancehall with other genres. The beat uses classic reggae drum patterns, but also adds digital sounds that were popular in early 90s dancehall. This mix helped the riddim cross over into parties and dancehalls, where fans loved both the old and new vibes. The artists on this tape each brought something special. Chaka Demus, with the song "Fling It Ge Me," added his signature rough vocal style. Chaka Demus is well known for later hits like "Murder She Wrote" with Pliers, showing his long-lasting impact on dancehall. Gregory Isaacs, famous for his smooth voice and hits like "Night Nurse," performed "Champion Bubbler" on this riddim, giving it a cool, laid-back feel. Maurine Coke’s "Having My Baby" brought a soulful touch, while Apache Scratchy’s "Cant Dun" and "Gay Man" added a raw edge. Blacka Demus’s "Dem Dun" kept the energy high. Together, these artists and the riddim’s builder made the Ak 47 Special Riddim a highlight of 1990’s bashment scene, blending different styles and talents into one unforgettable sound.
