SCULL RIDDIM produced by RUN THINGS RECORDS 1999

Scull Overview

In the late 1990s, dancehall music was the sound of the streets in Jamaica. The yard beat, with its heavy bass and catchy drums, brought people together at block parties and dance sessions. In 1999, one rhythm stood out—Scull Riddim. This beat had a strong pulse that made it a favorite among DJs and fans. The producer behind this riddim was RUN THINGS RECORDS, a label known for shaping the dancehall scene in Jamaica. RUN THINGS RECORDS started in the early 1990s and became famous for releasing music that kept the dance floors moving. Their influence grew as they worked with many top artists and created some of the most memorable riddims of the era. On the Scull Riddim, two artists made a big impact. Baby Demus brought raw energy with his track "Put Dung The Steel." His style was bold and direct, making the song a must-play for selectors. Sugar Minott, a legend in reggae and dancehall, delivered "It's Hot." Sugar Minott was already well known for his earlier hit "Good Thing Going," but on this riddim, he showed he could still control the dance. Fans from 1999 remember how this riddim filled the dance with excitement. The music was simple but powerful, and the Scull Riddim remains a classic sound from the golden days of dancehall.
