MOUSE TRAP RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL-B 1996
Mouse Trap Overview
In 1996, dancehall was full of energy and new ideas, but it still respected its roots. The Mouse Trap Riddim fit perfectly into this time. Its sound was fresh but also reminded people of the classic dancehall style. This made it popular at parties and events across Jamaica. The riddim was produced by DIGITAL-B, a label led by Bobby Digital. DIGITAL-B was already respected for its high-quality productions and modern approach to reggae and dancehall. Bobby Digital helped many artists create hits in the 1990s, and his label became a key part of the dancehall scene. A big reason for this riddim’s popularity was the artists who voiced it. Buccaneer brought his unique energy to the track Problem. Determine gave fans a catchy tune with Washing Machine. Don Yute’s song She A Move added a smooth, melodic touch. Lieutenant Stitchie, known for his fast lyrics and positive messages, delivered Stand Up For Your Right. Shabba Ranks, who won two Grammy Awards for Best Reggae Album in the 1990s, added his signature style to House Mouse. Simpleton rounded out the selection with Grill Up. Even today, selectors still play this compilation when they want to bring back the old-school dancehall vibes. The Mouse Trap Riddim remains a favorite for fans who love both nostalgia and timeless dancehall rhythms.
