COOL WATER RIDDIM AKA GOOD GAL RIDDIM produced by HOW YU FI SEY DAT 1996
Cool Water Overview
In 1996, a new dancehall collection took shape in the studio, blending tough rhythms with smooth, catchy flows. The energy started with the producer known as HOW YU FI SEY DAT. Known for his sharp ear and work with several top artists, he built a reputation in the dancehall scene for raw, authentic riddims. His label helped bring many underground hits to wider audiences, making him a key figure in the genre’s growth. The studio craftsman behind the mixing desk shaped each track, making sure the beats hit hard but left space for the artists’ voices to shine. It was a careful balance, and every detail mattered. The artists on this collection brought their own style and fire. Anthony B’s "Dont Tell Me" stood out, showing the power he would later bring to songs like "Raid The Barn." Bobby Crystal added a softer touch with "Sitting In My Room," a song that highlighted his smooth vocals. Boom Dandimite’s "Big Life" captured the energy of the dance, while Captain Barkey’s "Put Up Your Might" kept the crowd moving. Don Yute, with "Mi A Chat," showed the lyrical skill that would lead to later hits like "Row Da Boat" with Wayne Wonder. When this collection dropped, selectors quickly made it a favorite. Fans in dancehall parties across 1996 felt its unstoppable groove, making it a true classic of the era.
