Don't Call It a Comeback: Dave Kelly




Dave Kelly has been one of the Premier dancehall producers since the 1990s on his label Madhouse Records. He is responsible for popular riddims like Showtime, Joyride, Bug, and Bruk Out among others. He has also produced mainstream hits like "Action" by Nadine Sutherland & Terror Fabulous, Dude' by Beenie Man, and more recently Baby Cham's "Ghetto Story". Kelly's influence has been missed amidst a barrage of sound-alike, and forgettable riddims. Well Kelly is back with a vengeance. First with "Stronger" featuring the reunion of Bounty Killer and Baby Cham alongside Mykal Rose. Now with the recently released Turn it Up riddim, which features songs by Bounty Killer, Baby Cham, Bling Dawg, Timberlee, and veteran artiste Pinchers. I for one am glad to see him back on the scene!
