Four Burn Overview

When the Four Burn Riddim dropped in 1998, DJs across Jamaica quickly picked it up. The beat was built for the dancehall—bold, energetic, and full of swagger. The man behind this riddim was BANKEYLOUS, a producer known for his sharp ear and work with top artists. BANKEYLOUS had already made his mark on the scene through his label and was respected for bringing out the best in dancehall talent. The recording process for Four Burn Riddim happened in Kingston, using classic drum machines and live instruments. BANKEYLOUS made sure the sound was crisp and heavy, perfect for dance clashes and street parties. His attention to detail helped the riddim stand out in a year packed with big tunes. The artists on this compilation each brought their own style. Captain Barkey and Angel Doolas delivered “Two By Four,” a track that got plenty of play in the dances. Lady Saw, already famous for her hit “Sycamore Tree,” added serious attitude with “Man Haffi Mind Me.” Italee’s “He She” brought a unique voice, while Little Chris set the place alight with “Burning.” Nico Flex’s “Yu See Me” was another highlight, helping to shape the bashment flow that defined the late ‘90s. Each song fit perfectly with BANKEYLOUS’ riddim, making the compilation a true street anthem. The Four Burn Riddim still echoes the fire of 1998, reminding fans of a golden era in dancehall.
