Darker Shade Of Black Riddim produced by King Jammys for Kingston 11
Darker Shade Of Black Overview
In 1994, dancehall music in Jamaica was full of energy and new ideas. One important set from that year was built around the Darker Shade Of Black Riddim. This riddim brought together some of the most talented artists of the time. Baby Wayne, known for his sharp lyrics, delivered “Stop Dem Again.” Baby Wayne had made a name for himself with the song “Mama,” which was a big hit in the early 1990s. Beenie Man, who later became known as the “King of Dancehall,” performed “Mobster.” Beenie Man’s album “Blessed” would soon help launch him to international fame. Bounty Killer, famous for his powerful delivery, added “Not Another Word” to the mix. Bounty Killer would go on to win the 2002 MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act. Frisco Kid gave the set extra energy with “Area Bad Boy,” while Harry Todler brought his own style to “Good Hole.” The riddim’s instrumental version, “Darker Shade Of Black Riddim Instrumental,” was produced by L. James. The producer behind this set was King Jammys for Kingston 11. King Jammys is a legendary Jamaican producer who helped shape digital dancehall in the 1980s and 1990s. His label, Jammys, is known for launching many careers and creating classic riddims. This dancehall set captured the bold spirit of its time and still stands out for its strong performances and production.
