POT A RICE RIDDIM produced by MAY RED 1995
Pot A Rice Overview
If you love dancehall from the mid-90s, the Pot A Rice Riddim is a classic you should know. This 1995 mix helped set the energy for bashment that year. The riddim stands out because it blends the raw sound of dancehall with touches of hip-hop and R&B, which were rising in Jamaica at the time. This gave the riddim a hypnotic groove that made it popular in both street dances and radio mixes. The artists on this riddim each bring their own style. Daddy Lizard, with “Treat Yu Bad,” adds his signature confident flow. He’s known for tracks like “Rough Neck Chicken” and has worked with Shabba Ranks. Danger B’s “Body Dun” keeps the energy high, while Fabby Dolly’s “Mate Say She Hot” brings a playful twist. Flourgon, with “Gal A Fi Reverse,” is a legend in his own right—his song “We Run Things” was a number one hit in Jamaica. Frisco Kid delivers “Mek We Reason,” adding his smooth voice and clever lyrics. The producer, MAY RED, played a big part in making this riddim memorable. Known for his work with independent labels in Kingston, MAY RED made sure the music stayed melodic and fresh. The studio hand’s careful mixing helped every artist shine. Pot A Rice Riddim is still remembered as a standout moment in dancehall history.
