Jungle Fever Riddim - Lynx/Shams

JUNGLE FEVER RIDDIM produced by LYNX/SHAMS 2001

Jungle Fever Overview

In 2001, the Jungle Fever Riddim came out and made a mark in reggae’s roots scene. This instrumental was built for sound system culture. The heavy bassline and steady drums were perfect for big speakers and street dances. Sound system parties in Jamaica have always needed strong riddims like this—music that could move a crowd and carry a message. The producer behind Jungle Fever Riddim was LYNX/SHAMS. LYNX/SHAMS is known for shaping the sound of early 2000s reggae and dancehall. Their productions often reached both local and international reggae listeners. LYNX/SHAMS has worked with many artists and helped push new voices in the genre. On Jungle Fever Riddim, several artists brought their own style. Alozade’s track, “One Way,” showed his raw energy. Alozade is also known for his hit “Bad Man Nuh Pet Gal,” which made waves in dancehall. Hawkeye’s “Mek Dem Know” brought his signature flow. Hawkeye is remembered for his song “Arrest Mi Officer,” a well-known dancehall hit. Jack A Diamond delivered “Lucky One,” giving the riddim a thoughtful touch. The duo Kiprich & G Money came together on “Things Change.” Kiprich later became famous for songs like “Telephone Ting” and for his witty lyrics. Q.t’s “Get Busy” added another flavor to the project. Jungle Fever Riddim showed how reggae could keep its roots message strong in 2001. The riddim was built for sound systems, and each artist used it to share their own story.
