Fire Cracker Riddim – Crown Star
Fire Cracker Overview
In 1999, the Fire Cracker Riddim became a true street anthem in dancehall. This riddim was known for its fast, energetic beat and heavy bass, making it a favorite at late-night parties. Selectors often used it to keep crowds moving, and many fans remember it as the soundtrack to some of the best dancehall moments of the era. Compared to other selector mixes from the late 1990s, the Fire Cracker Riddim stood out for its raw energy. While some riddims of the time were smoother or more melodic, this one was all about hype and excitement. It matched the mood of the streets and made every party feel electric. A big part of the riddim’s power came from the artists and their songs. Capleton, a major dancehall artist known for hits like “Tour” and his album “More Fire,” brought fire to the riddim with “Clock Ticking” and “Inna De Fire.” His energy was matched by Capleton & Shepherd on “Blaze The Fire,” a track that kept the dance floor hot. Determine’s “Me Nah Stall” added another layer of toughness, while Kulcha Knox’s “Woman Of My Type” brought a smooth but confident vibe. Sizzla, who is famous for his classic album “Black Woman & Child,” delivered “Bad Man Deh,” showing his lyrical strength. Spectacular’s “Nah Let Them In” rounded out the mix, giving the riddim even more depth. The studio hand behind the riddim made sure each track sounded sharp and powerful. Looking back, the Fire Cracker Riddim helped keep dancehall alive and strong in 1999, setting the standard for street anthems of its time.
