ORIGINAL MISSION RIDDIM produced by PARISH RECORDS 1991
Original Mission Overview
The Original Mission Riddim, released in 1991, is a dancehall classic that brought together some of the scene’s most exciting voices. The riddim features tracks like “Best Love” by Angie Angel, “We A Rude Boy” by Anthony Redrose, and “No Push Over” by Chevelle Franklyn. Each artist brings their own energy, making the riddim perfect for the dance floor. Culture T appears twice, first with “Thinking Back In Time” and again with “Killer Sound,” showing his versatility over the riddim’s driving beat. Daddy Lilly’s “Come Hot” adds more fire, while Daddy Lizzard’s “Gun Shipment” is a standout for fans who love hard-hitting lyrics. General Degree’s “Wants” and Gregory Isaacs’ “Victem” bring even more depth, with Isaacs already known worldwide as the “Cool Ruler,” famous for the hit “Night Nurse.” Hoeton Lindo’s “Street Wise” rounds out the lineup, giving the riddim a sense of completeness. Chevelle Franklyn, who delivers “No Push Over,” would later become well-known for her song “Dancehall Queen,” a massive hit in the late 1990s. The riddim was produced by PARISH RECORDS, a label respected in Jamaican music circles. PARISH RECORDS is known for working with some of the biggest names in reggae and dancehall, and their productions have been played in dances all over the world. This release is a true example of what yard studios could do in 1991—fusing raw talent, catchy melodies, and the kind of energy that keeps people moving.
