Dollar Riddim – Powermatic Productions

DOLLAR RIDDIM produced by POWERMATIC PRODUCTIONS 1992

In 1992, the Dollar Riddim made a big mark on dancehall music. This collection brought together some of the genre’s top voices and blended hardcore deejay cuts with smooth vocals. The riddim was created by a talented studio engineer, who designed a fresh sound that stood out in the dancehall scene of the early nineties. POWERMATIC PRODUCTIONS handled the production. This label became known for its crisp, energetic style and was behind several popular dancehall releases in the early 1990s. Their attention to detail and ability to capture the lively spirit of dancehall helped make the Dollar Riddim a favorite in street dances and on radio. The artists on this collection each gave the riddim their own flavor. Daddy Lizard’s “Dollar Stylee” is a classic, with his trademark delivery setting the pace for the whole project. Flourgon, who had already found success with his hit “Bounce, ” brought energy and wit to “Shipment Of Girl. ” Fragga Ranks added a romantic touch with “Hug Me Up, ” giving dancers a reason to move closer. General Degree, later known for hits like “Traffic Blocking, ” delivered “Stress, ” a track that became a staple in many parties. Jossie Stepper’s “Wanted List” showed off his unique style and added another layer to the riddim’s appeal. For dancehall fans, 1992 cannot be remembered without this collection. The Dollar Riddim’s mix of party anthems and smooth vocals, guided by POWERMATIC PRODUCTIONS, made it a timeless piece of dancehall history.
