Step Up Riddim (1997) – Asylum

Asylum’s Step Up Riddim, credited here to 1997, pulls together Beenie Man’s Halla Fi Di Jordan, Bounty Killer’s Mi Nature, and Scare Dem Crew’s Rap Segment on a sharp mid-’90s dancehall groove. The set is often listed as Step Up, and some references also link it to the Focking Crew name, which fits the rough, party-ready energy of the rhythm. With two of the era’s biggest names leading the charge, the riddim has that tense, hard-cut sound that helped define late-90s dancehall, and Beenie Man and Bounty Killer both bring the kind of commanding delivery that made these juggling projects so memorable.
