Mud Up Overview

The Mud Up Riddim first made its mark in Jamaica’s dancehall scene in the late 1980s. This energetic recording quickly became a favorite at parties and sound clashes, where its bold beats set the mood for lively competition and dancing. Several artists helped make the Mud Up Riddim memorable. Chaka Demus appears with “Young Gal Business,” showing the strong style he later brought to international hits like “Murder She Wrote” with Pliers. Higgs And Twins deliver “Cant Test We,” adding sharp lyrics and a confident sound. Little Harry’s “Anorexal Body” stands out for its playful flow, a style that made him a regular voice in 1980s dancehall. The Skengdon All Stars contribute two tracks, “Dub Mud” and “Mud Up Version,” both filled with heavy bass and classic dub effects. Super Cat, known for leading the dancehall movement and hits like “Don Dada,” brings his signature voice to “Mud Up,” adding even more energy to the riddim. Behind the scenes, the producer SONIC SOUNDS OLDIES played a key role.
