Betty Davis Overview

In 1997, the dancehall scene was buzzing with the energy of the streets, and the Betty Davis Riddim was at the center of it all. The riddim was crafted by BLACK and YELLOW RECORDS, a label known for its sharp production and influence in 1990s Jamaican music. The label had already made a name for itself with a string of dancehall hits, helping to shape the sound of the era. The producer behind the riddim built a solid, catchy base that quickly became a favorite at dancehall events. The beat was infectious, carrying the raw spirit of bashment parties and giving DJs something powerful to play for eager crowds. As the riddim took shape in the studio, it attracted top talent ready to make their mark. Lady Saw, known for her bold lyrics and later for her hit “Sycamore Tree,” delivered “Stale Fronto” over the riddim, bringing her unmistakable style. Roundhead, a member of the Monster Shack Crew and respected for his work in the 1990s, added “Monster Corner,” giving the project another street anthem. Christopher Birch, who would go on to become a well-known producer, contributed “Betty Davis Version,” showing his early skill behind the boards. Together, these tracks made the Betty Davis Riddim a staple in 1997’s dancehall dances, with the street anthem base driving the crowd all night.
