Holla Fi Di Jordan Riddim – Taxi

HOLLA FI DI JORDAN RIDDIM produced by TAXI 1997

Holla Fi Di Jordan Overview

The selector’s choice that kept speakers rumbling in 1997 came from the legendary TAXI label. Known for shaping the sound of dancehall, TAXI was founded by Sly & Robbie, two of Jamaica’s most influential producers. Their work has touched almost every corner of reggae and dancehall, with TAXI riddims often becoming the backbone of countless hits. On this release, two giants of dancehall took the mic. Beenie Man, already a star by 1997, brought his energy to “Halla fi Jordan.” Beenie Man had just won the MOBO Award for Best International Reggae Act in 1998, and his hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” was climbing charts around the world. His flow on “Halla fi Jordan” showed why he was called the King of Dancehall. Bounty Killer, another heavyweight, delivered “Mi Nature.” Known for his raw lyrics and commanding voice, Bounty Killer had already released albums like “My Xperience,” which was praised internationally and featured collaborations with artists such as The Fugees. On “Mi Nature,” his gritty style fit perfectly with the riddim’s tough edge. Behind the scenes, TAXI’s signature production style tied everything together. Sly & Robbie’s experience in the studio made sure each song sounded powerful and clear, keeping the dancefloor moving. Their history includes producing for artists like Black Uhuru and Grace Jones, and their TAXI label remains one of reggae’s most respected. This selector’s choice stands out as a pure dancehall sound from 1997—timeless, energetic, and built for the clash.
