Enfarred Overview

In 1998, the Enfarred Riddim became a powerful force in dancehall music. This beat was not just popular in Jamaica, but also caught the attention of fans around the world. The sound was rooted in classic dancehall, but it also blended touches of hip hop and R&B, which made it fresh for the time. This mix of styles helped the riddim stand out in clubs and on radio. Three artists helped make Enfarred Riddim a hit. Alley Cat’s track, “Nuh Like You,” showed his smooth flow and sharp lyrics. Alley Cat is also known for his 1998 album “Hot Gal,” which made him a recognizable name in dancehall circles. Don Yute brought energy with “A Fi The Gal,” adding a catchy hook that stuck in listeners’ heads. Don Yute later gained international attention when he worked with Sean Paul on the song “Stalkin’.” Merciless, with his song “Back Out,” gave the riddim a rough edge. Merciless was famous for his powerful clash performances and his 2000 hit “Mavis.” The producer behind it all was FAT EYES RECORDS. This label, founded by Bobby “Digital” Dixon and later run by Bulby York and Fatta Marshall, is known for shaping the sound of 1990s dancehall. FAT EYES RECORDS has worked with top stars like Beenie Man and Buju Banton. Their skill in mixing strong beats with smooth harmonies made Enfarred Riddim special. For many, the Enfarred Riddim is still remembered as a true dancehall anthem from 1998.
