The Itch Riddim – Maximum Sound

THE ITCH RIDDIM produced by MAXIMUM SOUND 2001

Maximum Sound’s The Itch Riddim (2001) brings together a loud dancehall lineup with Elephant Man, Future Troubles, Hawkeye, Mr Vegas, Red Rat, Zumjay, Italee, T. O. K, and Junior Kelly, with the riddim version rounding things out. The batch is built around Maximum Sound’s distinctive, punchy “Itch” instrumental backdrop, and the vocal selections tap into street-ready themes across tracks like Elephant Man’s Fuck Off, Mr Vegas’s 2 Much, and Hawkeye’s Real Badman. Maximum Sound Productions sit behind the project, and Frenchie’s Maximum Sound work is long tied to shaping a particularly hard-driving, melody-forward style that his artists keep voicing over in this era.
