Guava Jelly Riddim – Stingray

GUAVA JELLY RIDDIM produced by STINGRAY 1997

Guava Jelly Overview

In 1997, dancehall music was full of energy, and the Guava Jelly Riddim set was right at the heart of the party scene. This collection was played at many dances that year, bringing a fresh but classic sound to the bashment crowd. The riddim fit perfectly with the upbeat, streetwise style that ruled Jamaican music at the time. A big part of this sound came from the engineer and producer known as STINGRAY. Based in London, STINGRAY is well-known for his work with the Stingray Records label. Over the years, he has helped shape the UK’s reggae and dancehall sound, working with both new and established artists. His productions are recognized for their clean, tight arrangements and have supported many popular releases in the scene. The artists on this set each brought their own style. Sammy Levi shines with "Here I Am," showing the smooth delivery he is known for. Chukki Starr, who later gained recognition for his album "Forever I Shall Praise," delivers "Wrong Plan," adding a conscious edge. Frisco Kid, who charted with "Rubbers" in the late 1990s, brings energy to "Yu a boom." Major Danger’s "Boom Sensi" and Ninja Ford’s "Nuh Dash It Weh" keep the vibes lively and true to the era. Together, these tracks capture the spirit of 1997 dancehall and show why this riddim was a favorite at parties.
