LEAPING FROG RIDDIM produced by VP RECORDS 1993
Leaping Frog Overview
The Leaping Frog Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most energetic voices in 1993. Buccaneer, known for his hit “Bruk Out,” stands out on this rhythm with “Change Your Behavior.” Captain Barkey, a regular on the Jamaican dancehall charts and remembered for his dynamic stage presence, delivers “Gangster Salute.” Chronicle, with his deep roots style, gives fans “No Kin Teeth.” Don Yute, who would later collaborate with international artists like Sean Paul, brings “Bad Man Fe Who.” Gary Minott adds his own flavor with “Decompose.” Other artists on the riddim include General Pecos with “Put Up Yu Hand,” Clark on “Leggo Violence,” Jah Son with “On My Agenda,” Papa San’s “Lyrics Station,” and Sad Sack’s “Wap Them.” Each track rides the same infectious bashment rhythm, creating a strong sense of unity and dancefloor energy. This riddim was produced by VP RECORDS, a label with a long history in reggae and dancehall. Founded in Jamaica in 1979, VP RECORDS has helped launch the careers of many big names in reggae and has released countless classic albums. Their work on the Leaping Frog Riddim helped shape the sound of 1993’s dancehall scene. For reggae fans, the Leaping Frog Riddim is a classic example of how a single rhythm can bring together different artists and create lasting dancehall energy.
