MY DECISION RIDDIM produced by BIG YARD 2000
My Decision Overview
In the year 2000, the dancehall scene was full of energy and new sounds. One recording that stood out was built on the My Decision Riddim. This riddim was special because it mixed hardcore deejay performances with smooth singing, making it perfect for both parties and radio. Bounty Killer’s “My Decision” showed his strong voice and commanding style. Bounty Killer was already famous for big hits like “Look” and had a reputation as one of dancehall’s most powerful voices. On this riddim, his delivery matched the music’s lively beat. Robin And Shaggy’s “Too Hot To Handle” brought a playful vibe. Shaggy, known worldwide for his hit “It Wasn’t Me,” added star power and crossover appeal. Brian And Tony Gold’s “Wrong Head” gave the riddim smooth harmonies, showing their skill for catchy, melodic hooks. Junior Kelly’s “Try A 9 To 5” added thoughtful lyrics, while Rayvon’s “Chronic” brought a laid-back, party feel. Rayvon is known for his long-time collaborations with Shaggy, including their chart-topping track “Angel.” Compared to other dancehall riddims of that era, My Decision Riddim stood out for its bright, party-ready sound. While some riddims focused only on hard beats or street lyrics, this one balanced energy with melody, making it popular at dances and on radio. The producer, BIG YARD, played a key role. BIG YARD is a well-known Jamaican label, co-founded by Robert Livingston, and is famous for working with Shaggy on major hits. Their experience helped make this riddim a classic.
