Cash Aka House Arrest Overview
In 1997, a new dancehall riddim was born in the studio. The Cash Aka House Arrest Riddim came together through careful planning and bold ideas. The producer, 321 STRONG, wanted a sound that was powerful and full of energy. Known for his sharp ear and strong presence in dancehall, 321 STRONG guided the creative process. His label was already respected for putting out tough riddims, and this project added to his reputation. The riddim’s foundation was heavy and anthemic, perfect for the dancehall scene. It quickly became a favorite for sound clashes, where DJs would use it to hype up the crowd and challenge other soundsystems. Alley Cat’s track, “House Arrest,” stood out with his direct style. Alley Cat was already known for his hit “Watchie Pum,” and his confident delivery made “House Arrest” a dancehall staple. Arp brought youthful vibes to the riddim with “Still Young,” adding a fresh touch that kept the energy high. Black Rat & Max Wayne teamed up for “Mi Gal Dem,” giving the riddim a playful, crowd-pleasing tune. Lukie D & Sugar Roy closed things out with “Try My Love.” Lukie D was recognized for his smooth vocals and had already made waves with the group L.U.S.T., while Sugar Roy was respected as a roots reggae singer. The Cash Aka House Arrest Riddim kept dancehall buzzing in 1997, leaving a lasting mark on the genre.
