OVERDOSE RIDDIM produced by FAT EYES RECORDS 1998
Overdose Overview
Back in 1998, dancehall music had a raw and rebellious spirit. The Overdose Riddim captured this feeling with its strong street anthem base. The beat was heavy and made for dancing, but it also carried the mood of the streets. The music was bold and full of energy, making people want to move and speak out. Artists like Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, and Tanya Stephens made the riddim unforgettable. Beenie Man’s “Ole Taker” brought his unique voice and flair to the track. Beenie Man is well-known for his hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” and is often called the “King of Dancehall.” Bounty Killer and Tanya Stephens joined forces for “Cry & Bawl,” mixing their styles perfectly. Bounty Killer is famous for his powerful lyrics and has won several awards, including a Grammy for his work with No Doubt. Other artists also stood out. Daddy Lizard gave us “We The Gal (We Dem Love),” while Mega Banton delivered “Rewind,” a song that kept the dance floor moving. Tanto Metro & Devonte’s “Feel Sen” added a smooth, catchy vibe. Terror Fabolous brought “See It From A Far,” showing his talent on the riddim. The producer behind the Overdose Riddim was FAT EYES RECORDS. This Jamaican label is known for working with top dancehall and reggae artists, and their productions have streamed worldwide. FAT EYES RECORDS helped shape the sound of 1990s dancehall with their singjay style.
