Stampeed Riddim – Jr Productions X Priceless X Stone Love 1997

Stampeed Overview

In 1997, the selector’s choice was the Stampeed Riddim, a dancehall rhythm that stood out on sound systems across Jamaica. At a time when dancehall was full of new ideas and energetic beats, this riddim made a strong impression in the dance. Compared to other dancehall drops of its era, Stampeed offered a hard, driving sound that selectors loved to play for big crowds. Artists like Anthony B brought his song "Nuh Vote" to the riddim, adding his powerful voice and message. Anthony B is well known for his hit "Fire Pon Rome" and is respected for his strong lyrics and stage presence. Bobby Crystal delivered "Diane," showing off his smooth singing style. Bounty Killer, who had already made a name with songs like "Poor People Fed Up," came in with "Irrelevant Rime," giving the riddim extra energy. Captain Barkey & Angel Doolas performed "Girlie Girlie," adding humor and fun to the mix. Dub’s "Unknown" track brought a deeper, more mysterious sound. The sound engineer played a big role, making sure every track sounded sharp and clear, so the riddim’s heavy bass and catchy hooks could move the crowd. While the producer’s name is not always mentioned, the quality and flow of the Stampeed Riddim helped it become a selector’s favorite in 1997 dancehall sets. The riddim’s unique sound kept people dancing from start to finish.
