Tan-Yah Production’s Hot This Year Riddim landed in 1991 as a tight dancehall set with a strong early-’90s lineup, pulling in names like Frankie Paul, Shaggy, Papa San, General Degree, Pinchers, Thriller U, Admiral Tibett and Dirtsman. The riddim is best remembered for cuts such as Dirtsman’s Hot This Year, Frankie Paul’s Day-O, Shaggy’s Mampie and Papa San’s Run The Route, giving the project a lively mix of tough chat, catchy hooks and street-level energy. Tan-Yah, linked here with producer Philip Smart, helped shape a sound that still gets talked about as one of those classic dancehall rhythms with plenty of replay value.
