BONANZA RIDDIM produced by JOE FRASIER 1998
Bonanza Overview
When the yard session tape for Bonanza Riddim dropped in 1998, dancehall fans knew they had something special. The tape spread quickly among sound systems and parties, with listeners loving its mix of hardcore energy and catchy hooks. Many still remember it as a true bashment highlight of that year. The riddim brought together some of the best voices in dancehall. Anthony B, already known for his hit “Fire Pon Rome,” delivered “Hyundeh” with his trademark fiery style. Blackout’s “Sunday To Sunday” kept dancers moving all week long with its steady flow. Bookie Ranks added a playful touch on “Gal Fascination,” while Captain Barkey, famous for the classic “Go Go Wine,” brought wisdom and humor to “Can’t Fool Woman.” One of the standout moments came from Daddy Screw Ft Tinga Stewart on “Dancehall Maniac.” Tinga Stewart, a veteran singer and Festival Song winner, gave the tune extra depth with his smooth vocals alongside Daddy Screw’s deejay delivery. The mastermind behind the project was JOE FRASIER, a respected producer in reggae and dancehall circles. JOE FRASIER’s label has a long history of releasing influential riddims and singles, helping shape the sound of modern dancehall. His attention to detail and knack for bringing artists together made the Bonanza Riddim a lasting favorite. Bonanza Riddim showed how strong collaboration can be in dancehall.
