CUTTING EDGE RIDDIM produced by KESTAFUTURE CUTS 1996
Cutting Edge Overview
In 1996, dancehall music was full of energy and excitement. The bashment flow was everywhere, filling parties and street corners with heavy bass and sharp lyrics. This style was about having a good time and showing off your skills on the mic. It was a key part of dancehall culture, and the Cutting Edge Riddim captured this feeling perfectly. The riddim’s builder, KESTAFUTURE CUTS, played a big role in shaping the sound. Known for working with several top dancehall labels in the 1990s, KESTAFUTURE CUTS brought a fresh, party-ready vibe to every production. Their work helped push dancehall forward, and Cutting Edge Riddim is a good example of that impact. On this project, you can hear the energy of Cherokee Kid and Snuupi. Cherokee Kid’s track, “Treat You The Best,” shows a smooth but streetwise style. Snuupi stands out with two songs: “B-I-G” and “Regular.” Snuupi is known for his unique delivery and for bringing real-life stories into his lyrics. These tracks gave the riddim its raw edge and helped make it popular in dancehall circles. The bashment flow of 1996 was all about big tunes and big vibes, and this riddim is a strong reminder of that powerful era in dancehall music.
