Mean Girl Riddim – Xterminator

MEAN GIRL RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR 1997

Mean Girl Overview

In 1997, reggae music saw a strong return to roots sounds, and the Mean Girl Riddim was a key part of this movement. Produced by XTERMINATOR, a label well-known for shaping the roots reggae revival in the 1990s, this project brought together some of the biggest voices in conscious reggae. Capleton delivers “Stand Tall” over the riddim, bringing his fiery style. Capleton is famous for his energetic performances and is known for his hit “Tour.” Cocoa Tea, a respected singer, adds “Mr. Neck Tie Man.” Cocoa Tea’s smooth voice made him popular worldwide, and he is known for songs like “Rikers Island.” Luciano offers “Sweep Over My Soul,” a song title that later became one of his best-known albums in 1999. Luciano is known for his uplifting lyrics and spiritual themes. Mikey General’s “Unseen Blessings” adds a thoughtful touch, and Sizzla’s “Babylon Ah Listen” carries his usual message of resistance. Sizzla is recognized for his album “Black Woman & Child,” which made a big impact in the late 1990s. Compared to other roots projects from the same era, the Mean Girl Riddim stands out for its laid-back groove and positive message. XTERMINATOR’s production gave each artist space to shine while keeping the roots reggae spirit alive. This project helped keep reggae’s conscious message strong in the late 1990s.
