BRANCO RIDDIM produced by RC ONE 1997
Branco Overview
In 1997, the Branco Riddim became a real favorite in Jamaican sound system culture. This mix stood out for its tight rhythm and fast pace, making it perfect for dancehall parties. The person behind the boards was RC ONE, a respected producer known for his sharp ear and clean mixing style. RC ONE worked with several labels in the late 1990s and helped bring this riddim to many dance floors, building a name for himself in the process. Selectors loved spinning the Branco Riddim at events. The sound system crews would use it to keep the energy high and the crowd moving. The beat was strong, and the mix was built for big speakers, giving everyone a real bashment feeling. Admiral Tibet’s "Roots And Culture" brought a conscious message over the riddim, showing his roots as a singer known for positive lyrics. Arp & Born Jamericans came together for "Who Seh Wah," adding a unique flavor. Born Jamericans are well known for fusing reggae and hip hop, and their album "Kids From Foreign" made waves in the 1990s. Beenie Man’s "Back Biters" added star power—he won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2001. Computer Paul, a key figure in Jamaican music, delivered "Branco Rhythm," showing his skills as a musician and producer. This mix is still remembered as a classic from that era.
