Dog Pound Riddim – Jammys Records 1998

Dog Pound Overview

In 1998, reggae was moving through a time of change, with both roots and dancehall styles mixing in new ways. The Dog Pound Riddim arrived in this moment, offering a strong roots-inspired base that singers and deejays could build on. Its sound was both modern and connected to classic reggae, making it stand out for fans who wanted music with depth and groove. The riddim’s arrangement played a big part in its impact. The culture arranger shaped the tracks with warm tones and a steady, rolling beat. This approach gave each artist room to shine while keeping the music grounded. The result was a set of songs that felt both relaxed and powerful, a balance that roots fans still appreciate today. Angel Doolas brought his unique voice to “Fail.” Known for his work in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Angel Doolas often teamed up with top producers and deejays, making his mark with catchy hooks and smooth delivery. Delly Ranks, on “Dem Get Me Vex,” showed why he’s respected as both a singer and producer. Delly Ranks is also known for the hit “Pon Di Corner” with Mega Banton, which made waves internationally. Dog Pound contributed the instrumental version, letting the riddim’s full groove shine through. Powerman’s “Bad Man Cartoon” added energy and a playful edge, while Ward 21, a group famous for their production skills and hits like “Haters,” delivered “Naah Do That,” keeping the riddim’s roots feeling strong.
