HICCUP RIDDIM produced by KINGS OF KINGS

Hiccup Overview

In 1999, the Hiccup Riddim became a favorite on reggae sound systems. This instrumental has deep roots reggae elements, but it also mixes in lively dancehall energy. The result is a sound that works well not just for reggae fans, but also for people who enjoy other genres like dancehall and even pop. Each artist on the set adds their own style. Ghost brings his signature smooth vocals to “Dem See Me.” He is well known for his hit “Do You Believe,” which reached reggae charts in the 1990s. Iley Dread’s “Pirates” has a rootsy feel, showing his strong connection to traditional reggae. Lady Saw, on “Real Galis,” delivers her bold and confident lyrics. She is famous for being one of dancehall’s leading women and was the first female DJ to win a Grammy Award, for her work on No Doubt’s “Underneath It All.” Michelle’s “Mi G” adds a melodic touch, while the duo Tanya Stephens & Spanner Banner shine on “Fire.” Tanya Stephens is respected for her songwriting and has released successful albums like “Gangsta Blues.” Zebra’s “Proud To Be Hot” keeps the dancefloor energy high. The roots selector played a key role, choosing tracks that fit perfectly together. KINGS OF KINGS, the producer, is known for launching many dancehall hits in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their work on this riddim helped show the lasting power of roots reggae in 1999.
