Correspond Riddim – Mad Dog

CORRESPOND RIDDIM produced by MAD DOG 1997

Correspond Overview

In 1997, the Correspond Riddim made a strong mark in dancehall music. The riddim’s base featured the hard-hitting, mixed beats that were popular at bashment events during that time. Behind the scenes, the arranger focused on making every element sound tight and energetic, perfect for dance floors and street parties. The producer MAD DOG played a key role in bringing this project to life. MAD DOG is known for shaping several dancehall projects in the late 1990s, working with different labels and artists. His knack for creating catchy, festival-ready rhythms helped the Correspond Riddim stand out. Over the years, MAD DOG’s productions have gained recognition in the dancehall community for their energy and originality. The artists on this riddim each brought their own style, shaping the street anthem base. Bigger Boss delivered “Smuggling,” adding a bold flow that fit the riddim’s heavy beat. Roundhead’s “Polo Cologne” brought in a smooth, catchy vibe; Roundhead is also known for his work as part of the group Monster Shack Crew, which had several hits in the late 1990s. Sean Paul’s “Correspond” added his signature vocal style to the lineup. Sean Paul would later become an international star, with hits like “Get Busy” and the Grammy-winning album “Dutty Rock.” Together, these artists and the skilled production made the Correspond Riddim a selector’s favorite and a true street anthem of 1997.
