Tempo Overview
The 1996 release of the Tempo Riddim made a big mark in dancehall music. This bashment set brought together three known artists: Frisco Kid, Johnny Osbourne, and Lehbanchulah. Each artist added their own style to the project, making it stand out in Jamaican music. Frisco Kid, known for his energetic delivery, gave fans the song "How Do You Feel." Earlier in his career, Frisco Kid became popular with tracks like "Gal Pon De Side," which helped build his reputation in the late 1990s. Johnny Osbourne, a respected figure in reggae and dancehall, delivered "Wha Do You So." Osbourne is well known for his classic hit "Buddy Bye" and has been a key voice in the genre since the 1980s. Lehbanchulah contributed "Dont Let Me Down," bringing a fresh sound to the riddim. The producer behind the project, ARTISTIC, has a history of working with top Jamaican acts and is known for creating rhythms that blend tradition with new sounds. ARTISTIC’s approach on Tempo Riddim kept the music rooted in classic dancehall but pushed it forward with modern touches. Selectors and fans still talk about this release, calling it a true yard classic. Even years later, the Tempo Riddim remains a favorite in dancehall circles and is often played at parties and sound clashes across the island.
