Metric Overview

Metric Riddim arrived in 1996, coming straight from the heart of dancehall. This riddim quickly became a favorite in the dancehall scene, with DJs playing it at every party and dance. One of the standout tracks on Metric Riddim is “Wow” by Spragga Benz. Spragga Benz is well known in dancehall, with hits like “Jack It Up” and “She Nuh Ready Yet (Hype Up).” His style is energetic, and on “Wow,” he brings that same fire, making the song a must-play for selectors. Another big moment on the riddim comes from Toni Braxton Feat. Mad Cobra with “Youre Makin Me High.” Toni Braxton is a Grammy-winning R&B singer, famous for songs like “Un-Break My Heart.” In this track, she teams up with Mad Cobra, who is known in dancehall for his hit “Flex.” The blend of R&B and dancehall creates a unique vibe that stands out on the riddim. The Version track, titled “Metric,” gives DJs the pure instrumental, letting them get creative and keep the party moving. Behind it all is the producer, LAFACE RECORDS. This label is known for launching big artists like TLC, Usher, and OutKast, and has made a big mark on the music industry with many chart-topping releases.
