Watching You Riddim – Cell Block Records 1996
Watching You Overview
In 1996, the Watching You Riddim arrived with a fresh sound that quickly caught the attention of dancehall fans. Bashment arranger, known for his sharp ear for street vibes, shaped the riddim with a mix of classic dancehall and new trap-inspired beats. The riddim was built for the dance, and when the sound system cut was first played, it hit hard. Selectors loved its energy, and it soon became a favorite at street dances across Jamaica. The release featured three well-known voices. Alley Cat brought his unique style to “Good Loving,” adding a catchy hook that kept crowds moving. Hopeton Lindo, famous for his earlier hit “Territory,” delivered “Undertaker” with his signature smooth delivery and conscious lyrics. Louie Culture, who had already made waves with the anthem “Gangalee,” came strong on “See Them Running,” giving the riddim a powerful edge. Each artist added something special, but the real magic was how their songs blended together on the riddim. The production, handled by a team focused on the dancehall scene, made sure every track sounded sharp on big speakers. Watching You Riddim’s sound system cut became a true street anthem, capturing the spirit of 1996’s dancehall culture and leaving a mark that selectors and fans still remember today.
