STINK RIDDIM produced by EXTRA LARGE PRODUCTIONS 1996
Stink Overview
In the mid-1990s, dancehall parties in Jamaica were full of energy and street vibes. The year 1996 was a special time for this music, with new riddims and songs getting people to dance all night. The Stink Riddim was one of those sounds that brought a raw and exciting feel to the dancehall scene. EXTRA LARGE PRODUCTIONS, the label behind this riddim, played a big part in shaping dancehall music during this era. Known for working with top artists and producing classic dancehall tracks, EXTRA LARGE PRODUCTIONS helped push the music forward and kept the party scene alive. Several artists made the Stink Riddim stand out. Alley Cat’s “Hot Gyal” is a favorite for many fans, showing his unique style and voice. Baby Cham, known for later hits like “Ghetto Story,” gave us “The Mass” on this riddim, adding his strong delivery and flow. Beenie Man, who won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2001, delivered “Ole Dog,” bringing his signature energy. Captain Barkey added humor and storytelling with “Funny Man” and “Go Go Wine.” General Degree’s “Daddy Teddy” brought catchy lyrics and a smooth sound. Each artist added their own touch, making the riddim complete. Many reggae fans say the party backdrop of 1996, with riddims like this, truly defined the bashment energy of dancehall. The Stink Riddim is still remembered as a real party starter from that golden era.
