Volume 2/11 – Rhythm Streetz #2: “Chaka Chaka Riddim,” produced by Fire Links, released in 2005
The “Chaka Chaka Rhythm” was produced by Dane ‘Fire Links’ Johnson & Craig ‘Serani’ Marsh for Fire Links, in 2005. It is the second issue of the “Rhythm Streetz” series, distributed by In The Streetz.
This riddim sounds drastically different from the previously released riddim of the series, (Drop Leaf). It is very uptempo, and kind of sounds like a caricature of folkloric country music. Besides, Vybz Kartel failed at covering some sappy Pop song in the chorus of “Dancehall Queen.” Still, some people might like its folkloric vibe sometimes reminiscent of the “Junkanoo Riddim.”
The compilation features Elephant Man, Beenie Man, Frisco Kid, Assassin, Fire Links, and many more. You may click here to view the full track list.
