Delly Ranks was one of the standout artists on this riddim with his song "Wha Me Hear." Delly Ranks is known for his strong voice and clever lyrics.

Lady G, a respected female deejay, delivered "Niceness." She is famous for her hit "Man a Bad Man" and has paved the way for women in dancehall. Powerman’s "Sex Was A Tournament" added humor and energy to the mix. Behind the scenes, Richard Carnegie and Horace Lawrence co-produced this riddim for Jamdown Records.
