FISH & RICE RIDDIM produced by COLIN FAT RECORDS 1996
Fish And Rice Overview
In the mid-1990s, dancehall music was at its peak in Jamaica. Bashment rhythms filled the air at street parties and sound system clashes. These rhythms were known for their energy and for bringing people together to dance and celebrate. In 1996, one of these bashment rhythms, “Fish And Rice Riddim,” became a favorite for selectors and fans who loved the old-school sound. The sound engineer played a key role in shaping the riddim’s powerful beat and clear mix. Every instrument and vocal sounded sharp and full, making it perfect for big speakers and crowded dance floors. This careful engineering helped “Fish And Rice Riddim” stand out among other releases that year. The producer behind this riddim was COLIN FAT RECORDS, a well-known label in the dancehall scene. Colin Fat, the founder, had a strong reputation for working with top artists and creating hits that lasted for years. The label was respected for its quality productions and helped launch many careers in Jamaican music. Several standout songs came from this riddim. Captain Barkey & Wickerman’s “Finger Ina” brought lively performances. General B, known for his work with Monster Shack Crew, delivered “Good Gal.” Roundhead, also a member of Monster Shack Crew, contributed “Harder Than Man.” Simpleton, who had a hit with “Coca Cola Bottle Shape,” added “Set Up.” Even today, selectors play these tracks for their classic bashment vibes.
