MAD RICE RIDDIM produced by 2 BAD PRODUCTION 2001
Mad Rice Overview
In 2001, dancehall was bursting with new energy, and the bashment rhythm was at the heart of the movement. The Mad Rice Riddim captured this excitement perfectly, with its driving beats and infectious hooks. DJs across Jamaica and beyond quickly picked up the release, making it a favorite in parties and dancehalls. Behind the mixing board was 2 BAD PRODUCTION, a name respected for pushing bold, street-ready sounds. The label had already made a mark in the early 2000s, known for sharp production and a knack for choosing the right artists. Their approach helped shape the sound of dancehall at the time, and Mad Rice Riddim added to their growing reputation. The artists on this project each brought something special. Tony Curtis & Mr Chicken delivered "Hot Gal Anthem," a track that became a staple for dancehall fans. Tony Curtis is well known for his time with the vocal group L.U.S.T., and his smooth delivery shines on this song. Mr Chicken’s energy adds a lively edge, making the anthem stand out. Christopher’s "Love Someone" brought a different vibe, mixing melody with heartfelt lyrics. Christopher is recognized for his hit "Lady In Red," and his ability to blend romance with dancehall made this track memorable. Lexxus, with "Sweetness," added his signature flair. Lexxus is famous for the dancehall hit "Full Hundred," and his confident style on "Sweetness" fit the riddim perfectly.
