NIKITA RIDDIM produced by NO FEAR 1997
Nikita Overview
The 1997 bashment release built around the Nikita Riddim delivered some of the most memorable tracks in dancehall that year. The standout songs on this project were Daddy Screw — Slap & Erase and Ninjaman — Bad Man. Both tracks became favourites in the dance, each bringing a different style to the riddim. Daddy Screw’s “Slap & Erase” showed his confident, playful delivery. Daddy Screw is well-known in the dancehall scene, and fans might remember his earlier hit “Big Things A Gwaan.” On this track, he kept his reputation strong, riding the riddim with sharp lyrics and a catchy flow. Ninjaman’s “Bad Man” brought a raw, street edge. Ninjaman, sometimes called “Don Gorgon,” is famous for his tough lyrics and energetic performances. He has had a long career with many classic songs, including the hit “Murder Dem.” On “Bad Man,” he gave the riddim a true yard vibe that connected with the streets. The mastermind behind this release was producer NO FEAR. NO FEAR is known for creative work in dancehall production, often pushing the sound forward. The Nikita Riddim is one of NO FEAR’s most recognized creations, and it helped set the tone for bashment music in the late 1990s. This street anthem base made the release a true classic, still remembered by dancehall fans today.
