Sluggy Ranks, who was respected for his conscious lyrics, voiced “Think Positive.” Chevelle Franklin, who later became famous for her gospel hit “Dancehall Queen” with Beenie Man, sang “Be Your Love.” Chucky Million’s “Kick Box Version” gave the riddim its signature instrumental flavor, letting selectors and fans enjoy its pure sound. Mad Cobra, who reached international charts with “Flex” in 1992, added his rough edge with the song “Yu No Response.” The riddim was shaped by producer MAC DADA, who was active in the 1990s Jamaican music scene.
