Big Nail Riddim – Stone Love 1996
Big Nail Overview
In 1996, the Big Nail Riddim became a favorite on Jamaican sound systems, pulsing with the energy that defined dancehall at the time. The bashment arranger behind this project gave the riddim a street anthem base—heavy basslines and sharp snares that set the perfect stage for each artist. Alley Cat’s “A You The Man Adore” rides the riddim with his signature flow. Alley Cat, known for his song “Girls Tour,” brings the same confidence and wit to this track. Black Pearl’s “You Dont Known” adds a smooth, melodic layer, making the riddim even more infectious. Daddy Lizard, with “Kick Him Out,” delivers his lyrics in a style that has made him a respected name since the 1980s. Frankie Paul, who has been called the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder” and is famous for hits like “Sara,” adds a medley that shows off his vocal range and experience. Galaxy P & Major Christie join forces for “Girls DJ,” giving the riddim a playful energy that keeps the dance moving. The recording process brought together these voices in a studio known for its lively and collaborative atmosphere. Each artist shaped the street anthem base with their unique style, making the Big Nail Riddim a complete and memorable release. The riddim’s fire and unity made it a true selector’s choice in 1996.
