Macka Riddim – Boomarang 1998
Macka Overview
In 1998, the Macka Riddim became a key part of dancehall sound system culture. The riddim’s strong street anthem base gave parties and dances a raw, powerful energy. It was the type of beat that sound systems loved to play, bringing crowds together and making every session lively. The street flavor in the music made it easy for selectors to hype up the crowd, and many say this base helped define dancehall’s bashment sound that year. Behind the scenes, the studio craftsman played an important role. Computer Paul, a respected figure in Jamaican music production, helped shape the riddim’s sound. Known for his skills with digital instruments and mixing, Computer Paul made sure every part of the Macka Riddim sounded sharp and ready for the dancefloor. On the Macka Riddim, three artists stood out. Computer Paul delivered the “Instrumental,” showing his talent as both a musician and a producer. General B, who is well known for his work with the Monster Shack Crew and hits like “Traffic Blocking,” voiced “Right Position.” His energetic style fit the riddim perfectly. Ghost, famous for his smooth vocals and songs like “Bodyguard” with Tony Curtis, added “Your Style.” Each artist brought their own touch, making every track feel unique. The Macka Riddim’s street anthem base, studio expertise, and strong performances made it a favorite for sound systems and dancehall fans in 1998.
