PASSPORT BUDDY RIDDIM produced by WILD APACHE PRODUCTION 1992
Passport Buddy Overview
In the world of dancehall, sound system culture is the heartbeat of the music. The Passport Buddy Riddim, released in 1992, is a perfect example of this. Its street anthem base was made for the dance floor and quickly became popular among selectors and fans. The riddim’s heavy bass and catchy melody gave sound systems a powerful tool to move the crowd. The bashment arranger played a key role in shaping the sound, making sure each track fit perfectly into the dancehall style. The arranger’s work helped the riddim stand out, making it a favorite for DJs who wanted to keep the energy high. WILD APACHE PRODUCTION is the label behind Passport Buddy Riddim. Founded by the legendary Super Cat, the label became known for producing some of the most influential dancehall tracks of the early 1990s. WILD APACHE PRODUCTION helped launch and support the careers of several major artists, and its releases are still respected in the dancehall community. The riddim features three standout tracks. Super Cat, with his song Ghetto Red Hot, brought his signature style to the project. Super Cat is a dancehall icon known for hits like Don Dada and for his international collaborations, including work with The Notorious B.I.G. Risco Benjie’s Passport Buddy is another key track, showing his unique voice and energy. Shabba Ranks, with Trailor Load, added his powerful delivery.
