Benz And Beamer Overview
The Benz And Beamer Riddim yard session tape from 1996 is packed with standout tracks. The tape features Beenie Man with “Blackboard” and “Girls Way,” Bounty Killer with “Model,” and the exciting clash “Mega Mix” from Bounty Vs Beenie. Frisco Kid delivers “If Looks,” Future Troubles brings “Masculine Gender,” Lady Saw appears with “Daddy” and “You’ll Never Find,” Mad Cobra adds “Ever Tight,” and Merciless rounds out the set with “Hammer.” Each artist brings their own style to the riddim. Beenie Man, known for his international hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” shows his versatility on both “Blackboard” and “Girls Way.” Bounty Killer, a Grammy Award winner for his work on the “No Doubt” album with Damian Marley, brings his signature energy to “Model.” The “Mega Mix” by Bounty Vs Beenie captures the spirit of dancehall clashes, a key part of Jamaican music culture. Frisco Kid’s “If Looks” and Future Troubles’ “Masculine Gender” add to the tape’s variety, while Lady Saw, a pioneer for women in dancehall, stands out with her two tracks. Mad Cobra and Merciless, both respected in the dancehall scene, complete the lineup with their strong performances. The riddim was produced by GREENSLEEVES / MIXING LAB.
