Kick Up Riddim – 1St Foundation 1999
Kick Up Overview
In 1999, dancehall parties were full of energy and excitement. The Kick Up Riddim matched this mood perfectly, bringing people together on the dancefloor. Its lively beats and catchy groove made it a favorite at bashment events across Jamaica and beyond. The signature sound of the riddim was shaped by the engineer behind the mixing desk. Their skillful touch brought out the best in every track, balancing heavy bass with sharp snares. The engineer’s work made sure each artist’s voice and style stood out, while still keeping the riddim tight and unified. Daddy Rings made a big impression with “Fraid A Wi.” Known for his powerful delivery, Daddy Rings gave the track a strong, confident vibe. Glamma Kid, who had earlier found chart success in the UK with “Taboo” alongside Shola Ama, delivered “Jah Calling.” His smooth flow and melodic hooks added a fresh twist to the riddim. Kick Up’s own “Instrumental” version let the production shine, highlighting the riddim’s pulsing core. Sugar Crucial’s “Jah Is My Guide” brought conscious lyrics and heartfelt singing, giving the project more depth. Tanya Stephens, who would later earn acclaim for her album “Gangsta Blues,” showed her talent on “For You,” blending emotion and attitude. Uneek’s “Dainty” rounded out the lineup, adding another layer to this classic bashment release.
