Matey Anthem Riddim – Steely X Clevie 1996

Matey Anthem Overview

In 1996, sound system culture was a big part of dancehall music in Jamaica. Selectors would bring the latest yard session tapes to street parties and dances, always searching for the freshest riddims to excite the crowd. That year, the Matey Anthem Riddim made a strong impact at these events. The riddim’s creator built the tracks around lively percussion and a driving rhythm, making it perfect for the dancefloor. The energy and style of the riddim helped it stand out among many other releases that year. It was common to hear this riddim booming from big speakers at yard sessions, with selectors rewinding the tape to keep the party going. Artists like Buccaneer, Daddy Screw, and Many Artists each brought their own style to the Matey Anthem Riddim. Buccaneer, known for his hit “Hotter This Year,” delivered his signature singjay flow, adding a catchy twist to the riddim. Daddy Screw, who had made his mark in the early ‘90s with songs like “Dath,” added a rougher vocal edge. Many Artists contributed the track “Matey Anthem,” which quickly became a favorite in dancehall circles. Together, these songs helped the Matey Anthem Riddim become a staple in 1996 dancehall sessions, showing the power of sound system culture and the talent of both the riddim creator and the featured artists.
