Dutty Tuff Overview

The Dutty Tuff Riddim brought together some of reggae’s respected voices in 1998. Bobby Crystal, known for his smooth singing style, leads with "My Love Your Love." Earlier in his career, Bobby Crystal gained attention for his cover of "Lady in Red," which became a favorite in Jamaica and abroad. Jah Selah delivers "Unite," adding a conscious message to the mix. Killish steps in with "I Wish Pt2," bringing fresh energy to the riddim. Ras Charmer rounds out the lineup with "Stars," giving a rootsy feel to the project. The selector’s choice for this release captured the raw sound of the streets. Each artist brought their own style, but the songs fit together well over the same instrumental. This made the riddim a staple in dancehall sessions, where selectors wanted music that kept the crowd moving. TOGETHERNESS RECORDS produced the Dutty Tuff Riddim. The label is known for its work in the late 1990s, especially for producing tracks that highlight real reggae and dancehall vibes.
