Stonewash jeans and high-top hairstyles were hip during the 1990s. Those fashions have long bit the dust, but fans still jam to many dancehall songs from that decade.

Frisco Kid never tires of performing his hit songs from that era, which include Little And Cute, Bashment Time, Big Speech, and Rubbers.

For him, the 1990s were a time of “joy, love, an’ happiness”.

He was a member of producer Dave Kelly’s Mad House Records camp, alongside Wayne Wonder, (Baby) Cham, Bounty Killer, and Mr Easy.

“Back inna dem time deh, everything come from di heart, it a come wid love. It wasn’t from what yuh can gain or what yuh can achieve [financially],” said Frisco Kid.

On December 27, the diminutive deejay co-headlines Saturday Night Live at Sky Ultra Lounge in St Andrew.

Louie Culture, another artiste who rode the charts in the 1990s, is the other headline act.

It will be the second event in the monthly series, staged by Global Grove Saturday Night Live. The first, in November, featured Marcia Griffiths.

Originally from West Kingston, Frisco Kid made his name on sound systems in Portmore, St Catherine. Thirty years ago, his career took off with a number of hit singles, several of them produced by Kelly.

Now in his mid-50s, he credits those songs for keeping him in demand.

“Wi always busy, ‘cause di chune dem weh wi do nuh have nuh limit pon dem. Our song dem, all di next hundred years people still waan hear wi sing dem an’ perform dem,” said Frisco Kid.

While he savours those songs, Frisco Kid knows the importance of recording new material. His latest song is King of The Street, with a double EP covering reggae and dancehall, scheduled for release in 2026.
