Belly Rat Overview

In the heart of the 1990s dancehall scene, DA SPOOKY crafted a riddim that would light up bashment parties for years to come. The Belly Rat Riddim was born in 1996, shaped by DA SPOOKY’s sharp ear for catchy beats and club energy. Known for his underground productions and influence on the local sound system circuit, DA SPOOKY brought a raw edge to the mixing board, earning respect as a true mixing board king. The riddim’s journey started in a small Kingston studio, where DA SPOOKY blended gritty, streetwise beats with the smooth flow of dancehall. The result was a club-ready sound that quickly caught the attention of selectors and fans alike. Alley Cat stepped up with “They Don’t Know,” a track that showed off his lyrical skill. Alley Cat is also known for his hit “Girls Tour,” which helped put his name on the map. Beeks followed with “Back And Belly Rat,” bringing a bold style to the riddim.
