Ever Ready Riddim – Shocking Vibes

EVER READY RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES 1992

Ever Ready Overview

In 1992, the Ever Ready Riddim brought new energy to dancehall music. The riddim was created by SHOCKING VIBES, a well-known production team and label in Jamaica. SHOCKING VIBES, led by Patrick Roberts, helped shape the sound of 90s dancehall and produced hits for many top artists. Their work on the Ever Ready Riddim is still respected in dancehall circles today. The recording process for the Ever Ready Riddim focused on strong, crisp rhythms and catchy hooks. This gave the riddim a party feel that was both tough and fun. Each artist added their own style, making the collection stand out. Beenie Man, already known for his early start in music, delivered "Which One" with sharp lyrics and energy. Culture, famous for their roots reggae sound, brought a different flavor with "All Fruits Ripe." Daddy Screw’s "Gal Look So Good" showed his skill for lively party tracks. Jigsy King, who later made waves with "Work," kept the dance going on "Gal A Fuss." Little Kirk, known for his smooth singing, added soul to the riddim with "I'll Be There." Other artists like Little Lenny with "Sex Rated," Louie Culture with "Fruits Rotten," Ninja Ford with "Wey Dem A Talk Sey," and Terror Fabolous with "You Sweet," brought more variety and excitement. Tnto Metro’s "Ever Ready" rounded out the collection. Even now, DJs play these songs to keep the 1992 dancehall spirit alive.
