Metric Riddim – Charm Records 1997

Metric Overview

The Metric Riddim from 1997 stands out thanks to the work of its sound engineer. Their creative mixing brought a fresh energy to the dancehall scene. By blending dancehall rhythms with new sounds, the engineer helped shape a modern vibe that DJs loved to play in bashment sets that year. Glamma Kid is one of the main artists who made this riddim popular. Known for his crossover appeal, Glamma Kid had already made waves in the UK with songs like “Taboo” and his hit “Why.” On the Metric Riddim, Glamma Kid delivered “Whats Love Got To Do With It Remix,” a track that showed his smooth style and ability to blend reggae with other genres. His unique voice and catchy delivery made the song a favorite in clubs. Sylvia Tella And Glamma Kid also teamed up for “What Love Gotto Do.” Sylvia Tella, known for her soulful vocals, brought another layer of melody to the riddim. Her past work includes collaborations with top reggae and dancehall acts, and together with Glamma Kid, she created a memorable track that stood out in 1997. The Metric Riddim became a staple that year, thanks to its modern sound and the standout performances from Glamma Kid and Sylvia Tella And Glamma Kid. It remains a strong example of late ‘90s dancehall innovation.
