WICKED RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES RECORDS 1991
Wicked Overview
In 1991, the Wicked Riddim sound system cut brought fresh energy to the dancehall scene. The riddim’s raw and lively beat made it a favorite for fans and selectors. It was not just pure dancehall; it blended well with other genres too. The heavy bass and sharp snares fit perfectly with hip hop and reggae mixes at many parties, making it easy for DJs to move between styles. Artists like Clement Irie, Don T, and Fargo Voice each added their own flavor to the riddim. Clement Irie’s track “Open Up Now” showed his playful vocal style. He is also known for his hit “Leave The Trees,” which made a mark in dancehall history. Don T brought his own energy with “Buddy Buddy,” while Fargo Voice stood out with “Ramp Wid Di Wuk.” Johnny P, with “Punnie Wid Di Gum,” and Little Lenny, with “Still Coming,” added even more variety. Little Lenny is remembered for his breakout hit “Gun Inna Baggy,” which was a major success in the early 1990s. Behind the scenes, the studio hand made sure every track sounded strong and clear. Their work helped keep the music’s power alive, from the studio to the dancehall. The producer, SHOCKING VIBES RECORDS, played a big part. The label is known for working with big names like Beenie Man and for shaping the sound of 1990s dancehall. Their influence helped the Wicked Riddim reach a wider audience.
