Get Wise Riddim – Pot of Gold 1997
Get Wise Overview
The Get Wise Riddim brought a heavy, street anthem vibe to dancehall in 1997. Its deep, rolling bass and sharp drum patterns made it a favorite at bashment parties and dancehall events. The mood was energetic and bold, with a sound that called people to the dance floor. Bounty Killer and Richie Stephens teamed up for the track "Get Wise." Bounty Killer, known for his major hit "Look," added his commanding voice and sharp lyrics. Richie Stephens, a singer with a smooth touch, had already built a name as a solo artist and for his collaborations with international acts like Busta Rhymes. Together, they made "Get Wise" a standout. Scare Dem Crew delivered "Boo Bye," bringing their well-known group energy. The Crew, famous for their close work with Bounty Killer and for their own hit "Many Many," gave the riddim a raw, street edge. The riddim was crafted at Mixing Lab Studio, a well-respected spot in Kingston, Jamaica. It was released on the Shocking Vibes label, which was already known for supporting big dancehall talents. The riddim’s production gave every track a strong, clear sound that DJs loved to play. The Get Wise Riddim remains a classic from the late '90s dancehall era.
