The label of the 7" single for Jack A Diamond's "Walla Wee"

Jack A Diamond, “Walla Wee”

Riddim: Grass Cyaat

Producer: Richard “Shams” Browne

Underrated riddim, underrated artist, underrated tune. Beenie’s “World Gone Mad” was the biggest song on the riddim, but something about Jack A Diamond’s delivery on this stuck with me.

Additional Listening:

Beenie Man, “World Gone Mad” (1999): Just a very very solid year in dancehall.

T.O.K., “Hands in the Air” (1999): Yes, Virgina, a quartet managed to balance DJing and vocal harmonies and score multiple hits. The late ’90s/early ’00s were a wild time.
