HARD NUT TO CRACK RIDDIM produced by MAD DOC RECORDS 1999
Hard Nut To Crack Overview
The yard session tape from 1999 was packed with fire tracks that everyone wanted to hear at parties. The songs on this tape included Anthony B with “No Man Can Try,” Capleton’s “Say What You Want,” Chukki Starr’s “Nallage,” Fargo Voice’s “Sorry,” Garnett Silk’s “Hard Nut To Crack,” Luciano’s “I Know Jah,” and Sizzla & Spectacular with “All Praises To Jah.” Each song had its own vibe, but together they made the riddim unforgettable. Anthony B’s “No Man Can Try” stood out, and it’s no surprise—Anthony B is known for his powerful voice and conscious lyrics. He’s the artist behind the classic album “Universal Struggle.” Capleton, who gave us “Say What You Want,” is famous for hits like “Tour” and has been a key figure in reggae and dancehall for decades. Chukki Starr’s “Nallage” brought a UK flavor to the mix, while Fargo Voice and Garnett Silk added their own energy. Garnett Silk is remembered for his soulful singing and songs like “Hello Mama Africa.” The sound behind all these tracks came from MAD DOC RECORDS. This label was known for bringing out hard-hitting dancehall riddims in the late 1990s. Their work on this project showed their skill in making music that got people moving. This tape captured what yard music was all about in 1999—big voices, strong messages, and beats that kept the dance going all night.
