Miss Hottie Hottie Riddim – Firehouse Crew 1999
Miss Hottie Hottie Overview
In 1999, a new riddim called the rocksteady flow was created in Kingston, Jamaica. The sound blended classic reggae styles with a modern touch, giving it a unique feel that connected old and new generations. The studio hand, a skilled engineer with a deep love for vintage reggae, played a key role in shaping the warm, smooth sound that defined the riddim. Using analog equipment, he made sure every track had that rich, vinyl-like quality. The producer behind the project brought together three respected artists: Mikey General, Simpleton, and Triston Palmer. Each brought their own style and history to the riddim. Mikey General recorded the song "Miss Hottie Hottie," adding his soulful voice and conscious lyrics. Mikey General is well known for his collaboration with Luciano on the album "Spiritual Revolution," which helped raise his profile in the reggae world. Simpleton, known for his hit "Coca Cola Bottle Shape," delivered "Jah Save I & I" on the riddim. His energetic delivery and clever wordplay made the song stand out. Triston Palmer, an artist with a long career since the early 1980s, contributed "See Dem Ah Come." Palmer is famous for his classic song "Entertainment," which topped Jamaican charts and was a favorite among reggae fans. The rocksteady flow riddim became a cultural work of 1999, remembered for its mellow energy and the way it brought together different voices in reggae. The songs still echo the spirit of the streets and the timeless sound of Jamaican music.
