Estrogen Riddim – Mastamind Productions

By 2006, dancehall was deep in its mid-2000s singles-and-riddims run, and Mastamind Productions’ Estrogen Riddim sat right in that pocket with a female-forward four-track lineup that kept the focus tight. Nadia Batson’s “Pon Meh Backside” is the name that jumps out first, especially with her already-minted reputation as a sharp Trinidad songwriter, while Alysha’s “Wuk Yuh Man” and Precious’ “Waste Ah Time” lean into the cheeky, flirtatious side of the set. Impack 2 featuring Daria opens things with “Good Energy, ” giving the riddim a more uplifting angle before the rest of the cuts turn the mood towards playful street dancehall. The whole project runs with four songs from four different acts, all credited to Mastamind Productions, and the tracklist keeps it neatly contained: “Good Energy, ” “Wuk Yuh Man, ” “Pon Meh Backside, ” and “Waste Ah Time. ”
