Yankee Doodle Riddim – Star Gate

Yankee Doodle Riddim is a 1997 Dancehall release produced by Star Gate, with Beenie Man leading the short two-track set on Want A Woman. The riddim is a tight, no-frills cut that keeps the focus on the vocals and the version side, which is also listed in the tracklist. Beenie Man was already one of the biggest names in the era, and his presence gives this Star Gate production extra weight. The release also turns up in riddim databases with other 1997 cuts on the same rhythm, including songs from artists like Anthony B and Roundhead, which helps place it firmly in that lively late-90s dancehall run.
