Swatt Overview
The Swatt Riddim is a 1998 dancehall release known for its lively beats and club-ready energy.

The riddim’s style is direct and full of fire, making it perfect for late-night parties and sound system clashes. Several top artists delivered standout tracks on this riddim. Determine made a mark with "Blood Sweat And Tear," a song that shows his commanding voice and skill. Lieutenant Stitchie & Lukie D teamed up for "Mercedez," blending Stitchie’s fast lyrics with Lukie D’s smooth singing.

Lukie D is also respected for his solo work and collaborations. Other highlights include Major Christie’s "My Pony," Mega Plough’s "Gal Dem Something," and Red Dragon’s "Gal Yu Look Good." Red Dragon is remembered for his hit "Compliments On Your Kiss," which reached the UK Singles Chart in 1994. Each artist brings their own style, adding to the riddim’s lasting appeal.
