Badman Overview

In 1999, the bashment rhythm brought a new wave of energy to dancehall music. This style, with its heavy bass and rapid-fire drums, was the heartbeat of dancehall sessions that year. One of the standout releases on this rhythm was a selector’s mix featuring top artists like Anthony B, Johnny P, Junior Cat, Little Hero, and Zodiac. Anthony B, known for his powerful voice and conscious lyrics, delivered “Turn Back Blow.” He is famous for hits like “Fire Pon Rome” and is respected for his strong presence in reggae and dancehall. Johnny P, who made his name in the late 1980s and early 1990s with songs like “Bike Back,” brought his unique style to “Seago Face PJ Body.” Junior Cat, a veteran deejay and brother of Super Cat, contributed “War Zone,” showing his lyrical skill. Little Hero, who gained attention with his song “God Alone,” added a dancehall flavor with “Gal Dem Coney Park.” Zodiac, with “Empress Be Wise,” completed the lineup, bringing a fresh sound to the mix. BAD FOWL PRODUCTION, the producer behind this release, was known for shaping hits in the late 1990s dancehall scene. Their work on this bashment rhythm helped define the sound of the era and kept dancehall fans coming back for more. This selector’s mix stands as a snapshot of dancehall’s power in 1999.
