MUSLIM RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR PRODUCTION 1992
Muslim Overview
In 1992, the Muslim Riddim became a favorite for dancehall sound systems across Jamaica. This club-ready riddim gave selectors new energy for dance nights, with its sharp drum patterns and catchy bassline. The riddim was built for the dancefloor, making it easy for DJs to mix and keep the crowd moving. The beat was created by XTERMINATOR PRODUCTION, a key label in reggae and dancehall history. XTERMINATOR PRODUCTION was founded by Philip "Fatis" Burrell, who helped launch the careers of many famous artists. The label is known for its high-quality productions and for shaping the modern dancehall sound in the 1990s. The Muslim Riddim brought together some of the most talented artists of the era. Capleton delivered "Arms House," showing the fiery style that later made him famous with songs like "Tour." Dirtsman’s "Simmer Down" stands out with his smooth delivery; Dirtsman is also known for the hit "Hot This Year." Junior Cat appeared twice, with "Mi No Give A Damn" and "Top Dog," bringing his tough lyrical style to the riddim. Major Mackerel’s "Hot" added his unique voice, while Ninja Kid’s "Boom Bye Bye" brought a different flavor to the mix. Other artists like Red Rose & Bounty Killer with "Intimate Woman," reggae tiger’s "when," and Sanchez & Shaka Shamba’s "Bun Bun Bun" also contributed to the riddim’s success. Sanchez, who sings "Hey Jude," is known for his smooth vocals and many chart hits.
