ARIZONA RIDDIM produced by COLIN FAT RECORDS
Arizona Overview
When the Arizona Riddim yard session tape first made the rounds, fans loved the fresh energy it brought to dancehall parties. Selectors found the tape perfect for keeping the crowd moving, and it quickly became a favorite for anyone looking for that late-‘90s dancehall sound. Elephant Man’s “Put It Deh So” stood out for its playful delivery and catchy hooks. By this time, Elephant Man was already known for his energetic style and had been part of the popular Scare Dem Crew. Ghost’s “Man A Man” added a smooth, melodic touch, showing why he is respected for his vocal talent in the dancehall scene. Merciless, with “All The Way,” brought his signature lyrical flow. Merciless had earlier made waves with his hit “Len Out Mi Mercy,” cementing his reputation in the late ‘90s. Roundhead delivered “Want From Me” with his unique voice, while General B’s “Weed Head” gave the tape a classic bashment flavor. Both artists were recognized members of the Monster Shack Crew, known for their group hits and solo tracks. The project was arranged and released by COLIN FAT RECORDS, a label with a strong presence in dancehall since the late 1980s. Colin Fat, who founded the label, is known for producing hits like Sanchez’s “Loneliness” and supporting many rising stars. Selectors still pull the Arizona Riddim yard session tape for old-school vibes at dances today.
