SORE RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES 1995
Sore Overview
The Sore Riddim comes from the well-known producer SHOCKING VIBES, a label that helped shape dancehall in the 1990s. SHOCKING VIBES, led by Patrick Roberts, is famous for working with top artists and delivering hits that reached both local and international charts. Their influence is clear in this 1995 collection, where the yard beat brings raw energy and a classic dancehall sound. Beenie Man, a key artist in dancehall, shines on this riddim with two tracks: "Maestro" and "Bank Robber." By 1995, Beenie Man was already a major name, known for his album "Blessed," which helped him gain worldwide attention. His style and delivery fit perfectly over the Sore Riddim’s driving beat. Buccaneer delivers "Turn Around," adding his unique flavor. Buccaneer is known for his pirate-themed image and hits like "Bruk Out," which made him stand out in the dancehall scene. Alley Cat brings "B.M.W.," showing his smooth flow. Alley Cat often worked with SHOCKING VIBES and became known for his clever lyrics. Other strong voices on the riddim include Frisco Kid with "Wickedest Sight" and Ghost with "Water Falls." Frisco Kid is recognized for his energetic performances, while Ghost is celebrated for his smooth singing style. Each artist brings something special, keeping the riddim fresh and exciting. This dancehall collection is a great example of what yard studios could do in 1995. With SHOCKING VIBES at the controls and top artists on the mic, the Sore Riddim remains a replay-worthy classic.
