Lezz Riddim – Rookie Production

LEZZ RIDDIM produced by ROOKIE PRODUCTION

Lezz Overview

In 1999, the Lezz Riddim exploded onto the dancehall scene and quickly became a yard anthem across Jamaica. The sound was unmistakable—full of energy and made for the dancefloor. Behind this powerful riddim was ROOKIE PRODUCTION, a producer known for shaping the raw sound of late ‘90s dancehall. ROOKIE PRODUCTION had already made a name in the industry with a series of influential releases, and Lezz Riddim only strengthened their reputation for uniting artists with a single beat. The mixing board king on this project brought together deep bass and crisp snares, creating a solid foundation for each artist. The recording process was all about capturing the lively spirit of the dancehall. Each artist recorded their track over the same instrumental, but added their unique style, making every song stand out. Alley Cat delivered “Wheely,” a song that matched his playful and bold delivery. Alley Cat is best known for his hit “Girls Tour,” which helped him gain international attention in the early 2000s. Devonte, with “Stand tall,” brought smooth vocals and uplifting lyrics. Elephant Man, famous for his energetic performances and hits like “Pon De River, Pon De Bank,” kept the party moving with “Fly.” Spragga Benz, a respected name in dancehall with chart-toppers such as “She Nuh Ready Yet,” added his unmistakable flow to “Lezz.” Together, these artists and ROOKIE PRODUCTION created a riddim that many say defined the bashment energy of 1999. The Lezz Riddim still stands as a classic example of dancehall’s power to unite voices and move crowds.
