Why Oh Why Riddim – Kingston 11

WHY OH WHY RIDDIM produced by KINGSTON 11 1993

Why Oh Why Overview

Back in 1993, reggae was changing fast. New sounds were coming up, and the "Why Oh Why Riddim" project was right in the middle of it. The producer behind this rhythm was KINGSTON 11, a name known on the Jamaican scene. KINGSTON 11 is famous for bringing together roots reggae and the fresh energy of dancehall. His label, also called Kingston 11, helped many young artists get their first big break. The studio team worked hard to capture the old-school reggae feel but made sure the beat was sharp enough for dancehall fans. In the booth, the energy was real. Artists came in with their own stories and styles, ready to lay down something new. Bounty Killer and Boom Dandimite teamed up for "Powers Youth," a song that showed their raw talent. Bounty Killer, who was already making waves with hits like "Copper Shot," brought his tough voice and street wisdom. He also dropped "Statement" on this rhythm, showing his lyrical skill. Lieutenant Stitchie, known for his fast lyrics and big stage presence, added "Wood Fire," bringing a different vibe to the mix. When the project came out, it gave new voices a place to shine. Even today, "Why Oh Why Riddim" sounds like 1993 reggae—full of energy and true to its roots.
