NO TROUBLE WE RIDDIM / WEH DEM FAH RIDDIM? – REDMAN INTERNATIONAL 1988
No Trouble We Overview
The No Trouble We Riddim stands out as a true street anthem from its era. Its heavy bassline and sharp drum patterns made it a favorite at sound clashes, where selectors wanted pure energy. Compared to other dancehall drops of the late 1980s and early 1990s, this riddim has a rawer edge. Many riddims from that time used digital sounds, but No Trouble We Riddim kept a rootsy feel while still sounding fresh. Artists like Carl Meeks brought fire to the riddim with “Wa Dem Fah,” a song that helped define his energetic style. Carl Meeks is well known for his unique voice and catchy hooks, and “Wa Dem Fah” became one of his signature tracks. Horace Andy, with “Ease Off,” added his smooth, soulful delivery. Horace Andy is also famous for his classic song “Skylarking” and for working with the British group Massive Attack years later. King Everald’s “Special Singer” kept the dance moving, showing why he was popular in the dancehall scene. Tippa Lee & Rappa Robert’s “No Trouble We” became a chant for peace and unity, and the duo is respected for their work together in the late 1980s. The riddim architect, whose careful production shaped the sound, made sure each track felt balanced and lively. Even today, selectors still pull this riddim to bring old-school vibes to the dance.
