Big Up Riddim - Signet Records

BIG UP RIDDIM produced by SIGNET RECORDS 1992

The yard session tape for the Big Up Riddim captured the true sound of 1992 dancehall. The tracklist brought together some of the era’s most energetic voices, all riding the same infectious riddim. Each song kept the party moving and the dancefloor full. Big Bills came in strong with “Baja Jedd, Screechy Dan, ” a track that showed off his style and delivery. Big Bills is known for his dynamic presence, and this song made sure his voice was heard in every corner of the dance. Big Up teamed up with Shaggy and Rayvon, two artists who would later find international fame. Shaggy, in particular, became a global star with hits like “Boombastic” and “It Wasn’t Me, ” but here he was still bringing raw energy to the sound system. Brandy delivered “Jack Radics, ” a tune that fit perfectly into the yard session’s flow. Jack Radics is a respected name in reggae, known for his deep vocals and songwriting. Gig’s “Nikey Fungus” added another layer, keeping the crowd engaged. Pon U Matie’s “Fresh Rose” brought a fresh vibe, reflecting the creative spirit of the dancehall scene. Other standout tracks included “Skin Out” by Screechy Dan, “Wedding Ring” by Terror Fabulous, and “You a Lead” by Red Fox. Each artist brought their own flavor, making the tape a favorite at sound clashes. Behind the scenes, SIGNET RECORDS was the driving force.
