Guerilla Warfare Riddim – Scare Dem Muzic 1997
Guerilla Warfare Overview
In 1997, a group of standout dancehall artists came together for a memorable set that echoed through clubs across Jamaica. Kid Kurrupt brought energy with “Open Like Grip,” while Saba Tooth delivered the catchy “Caan Man Bill.” Scare Dem Crew, known for their strong presence and teamwork, added “War Medley” to the mix. Bounty Killer, famous for his hit “Look” and a MOBO Award winner, gave fans “Chuckie.” Elephant Man, who would later become a solo star with songs like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” contributed “Warn Dem.” Other artists joined in to make the set even stronger. General B performed “Weak Unda Your Treatment,” Ghost sang “Badman Fi Who,” and Monster Shack hyped the crowd with “Run From We.” Nitty Kutchie shared “If I Were You,” and Powerman rounded things off with “Request The Rod.” Each song had its own style, but together they created a powerful dancehall experience. The producer behind the riddim was Jeremy Harding, who is also known for producing Beenie Man’s international hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma).” Harding’s work on this set helped shape the sound of late-90s dancehall, blending hard beats with catchy hooks. Looking back, this dancehall set showed the spirit of 1997. It brought together rising stars and established names, all sharing the same riddim and creating music that filled dance floors. The energy and creativity from these artists and songs still stand out as a classic moment in dancehall history.
