GHETTO STRESS RIDDIM produced by MINOR 7 FLAT 5 2007
Ghetto Stress Overview
In 2007, the Ghetto Stress Riddim became a familiar sound at reggae events across Jamaica. The riddim was created in the studio with careful attention to classic reggae grooves, using live instruments and a strong horn section. The producer, MINOR 7 FLAT 5, is known for working with top roots artists and for releasing music through their own respected label. The production team had already made a mark with earlier riddims, and their experience shaped Ghetto Stress into a polished release. After the basic track was laid down, the dub engineer handled the mix, bringing out the warmth of the drums and the brightness of the horns. This gave the riddim its rich, layered sound. Several key artists recorded songs on Ghetto Stress. Capleton delivered "Get Up," adding his signature energy. Cocoa Tea, famous for his hit "Rikers Island," contributed "Biological Warfare." Josie Mel sang "Run Away," while Lutan Fyah brought "Ghetto Stress." Ras Myrhdak voiced "Jah Is The Way." Tony Tuff, known for his classic "Come Fi Mash It," appeared with "Stronger." Each song brought a different message, but all were united by the same instrumental. The riddim’s journey from the studio to the dancehalls helped it become a memorable part of reggae’s 2007 soundscape.
