LIGHTER RIDDIM produced by BEAN STALK 1995

Lighter Overview

In 1995, the Lighter Riddim yard session tape became a big part of dancehall sound system culture. In those days, sound systems would set up in yards, playing music loud and clear for the whole community. The energy came not just from the artists, but also from the sound engineer, who made sure every beat and lyric sounded sharp and heavy through the speakers. The producer behind this session was Bean Stalk. Bean Stalk is known for creating powerful riddims that get people moving. He has worked with many artists in the dancehall scene, and his productions often bring a fresh, anthemic sound to the dance. Bean Stalk also took a turn on the tape with his own track, “Lighter Riddim.” The artists on this session all brought their own style. Dangerous performed “Lighter,” a song that still gets respect from fans. Simpleton delivered “Black Dog.” Simpleton is also known for his 1992 hit “Coca Cola Bottle Shape,” which helped make his name in dancehall. Spragga Benz gave the crowd “Mad Dem.” Spragga Benz later found international success with songs like “Jack It Up” and has worked with artists worldwide. Tumpa Lion’s “Trouble Trouble” added even more energy to the set. This yard session tape remains a favorite for its real sound system vibes and classic dancehall performances.
