X-RATED RIDDIM produced by COLIN FAT 1995
X-Rated Overview
The X-Rated Riddim is a classic example of the club-ready sound that defined dancehall in 1995. The rhythm is fast and energetic, with strong drum patterns and a deep bassline that makes it perfect for late-night sessions. It captures the lively, electric mood of the dancehall, pushing dancers to move with its sharp, infectious groove. Artists on this riddim brought their own style and energy. Captain Barkey’s “Gal At Mi Door” stands out with his signature delivery and witty lyrics. Chevelle Franklin & Danny Liza teamed up on “Wait Until Tonight,” blending smooth vocals and catchy hooks. Chevelle Franklin is well known for her hit “Dancehall Queen” with Beenie Man, and her voice always adds a special touch. Frisco Kid’s “Hotter Flex” rides the riddim with confidence—Frisco Kid is respected for hits like “Rubbers” and his work with producers like Dave Kelly. General B dropped two tracks, “Nicky” and “No Taxi Fare,” showing his versatility. Ghost, known for his soulful voice, appears with “I Wish You Were There” and “Profile,” continuing the emotional style he showed in songs like “Do You Believe.” Behind these tracks is COLIN FAT, one of Jamaica’s most influential producers. He founded the Colin Fat label and helped launch artists like Beenie Man. His work shaped the sound of 1990s dancehall, and the X-Rated Riddim is a strong example of his touch. In 1995, this riddim was a staple in dancehall sets, keeping the crowd moving all night.
