VISIT YU YARD – MAIN STREET 1997
Visit Yu Yard – Main Street Overview
The sound engineer behind the Visit Yu Yard – Main Street riddim helped shape a new vibe for dancehall in 1997. By carefully mixing crisp drums and lively melodies, the engineer made sure the music sounded sharp on big speakers at street dances. This technical skill gave the riddim its punch and made it popular in Jamaica’s bashment scene. Degree stood out as a leading voice on the riddim. His track, Degree — Visit Yu Yard Ft. Red Rat, brought energy and humor to the dance floor. Degree was already known for his hit “Traffic Blocking,” which made him a familiar name in dancehall. His style on this riddim matched the upbeat mood of the time. Red Rat also played a key role. On the song Red Rat — Visit Yu Yard Ft. Red Rat, he delivered his signature playful lyrics and catchy phrases. Red Rat’s debut album “Oh, No... It’s Red Rat” was released in 1997, the same year as this riddim, helping him gain international fans. Both artists helped make the Visit Yu Yard – Main Street riddim a favorite for DJs and dancers. The tracks became regular choices at street parties, thanks to their lively hooks and strong rhythms. Even years later, their influence on dancehall music is still clear.
