Rude Boyz Riddim – Tp Records 1999

Rude Boyz Overview

Rude Boyz Riddim, released in 1999, is still loved by dancehall selectors today. This collection stands out for its sharp lyrics and strong dancehall grooves. The riddim itself mixes classic dancehall with touches of reggae and even hints of R&B, making it easy to blend with other genres in the club. Junior Reid leads the set with “Rude Boyz.” Reid is well known for his hit “One Blood” and as a former lead singer of Black Uhuru, a Grammy-winning reggae group. His voice brings power and energy to the riddim. Sugar Stick shines on two tracks: “In The Middle Of The Ocean” and the playful “What If Girls Wasn't On This Earth” (with Footloose). Jennifer Burges adds a smooth, soulful touch with “Loving You,” showing the riddim’s softer side. The “Morning Train Remix” unites Sugar Minott, Terry Ganzie, and Jah Paul. Sugar Minott is famous for his song “Good Thing Going” and for helping shape the dancehall sound in the 1980s. Jah Paul also steps forward on “Today For You Tomorrow For Me,” keeping the vibe fresh. Other tracks, like “A Lot Of Skeleton” by Sugar Minott and “God Moves” by Shorty Ranking and Recking Crew, add more depth. The riddim architect’s work keeps the whole set tight and lively. This collection’s seamless flow and club-ready energy have kept it popular for years.
