Killa Pride Overview

When the yard session tape dropped, dancehall fans were quick to notice its heavy basslines and raw energy. The tape became a favorite in street parties and sound system clashes, with selectors rewinding tracks all night. Each song brought its own vibe, but together, they made the Killa Pride Riddim a must-have for 1997. Beenie delivered "Man Brand," showing why he was already a dancehall heavyweight. By this time, Beenie had scored a MOBO Award for Best International Reggae Act in 1998, and his unique style was clear on this track. Chronicle & Ninja Man teamed up for "Rude Boy Ease," blending Chronicle’s roots influence with Ninja Man’s sharp delivery. Ninja Man, known for his legendary clash performances, added extra fire to the session. Round Head’s "Weed Is Life" brought a smooth, herb-inspired anthem to the mix, while Scare Dem Crew’s "Kickin De Door" added their signature group energy. Spragga Benz, who later found success with his album "Uncommonly Smooth," kept things lively with "Just De Flex," a track that had fans moving. Behind the scenes, the producer MASSIVE B SOUNDS shaped the entire sound. Founded by Bobby Konders in New York, the label became known for mixing reggae and dancehall with hip hop influences, helping the genre reach new audiences. MASSIVE B SOUNDS’ work on this riddim showed why selectors trusted their releases. Looking back, this yard session tape was more than just a collection of songs. It captured the spirit of dancehall in 1997 and kept the music alive for fans everywhere.
