BLUE BOOK RIDDIM produced by FROGGY MADDSQUAD 2016
Blue Book Overview
In 2016, a new dancehall set made a big impact in Jamaica’s clubs. The collection brought together well-known artists like Charly Black, Alison Hinds, Gappy Ranks, Baby Boom, and Delly Ranx. Each artist added their own style, making the set stand out from other dancehall releases of the time. Charly Black’s “Dancehall Bubbler” became a favorite for party crowds, while Alison Hinds showed her energy on “Bruk Out Gyal.” Gappy Ranks delivered “Ghetto Gyal,” bringing a UK dancehall flavor. Baby Boom’s “Party & Don’t Care” kept the mood light and fun, and Delly Ranx’s “Real Stripper Whine” added a classic dancehall vibe. Compared to other dancehall collections from 2016, this set felt more international. Songs like “Happy Life” by Froggy Maddsquad and “Caribbean Anthem” by Raytid showed how the riddim could cross borders. The mix of voices and styles made it different from single-artist albums or smaller riddim projects of that year. The producer behind the set, Froggy Maddsquad, played a key role. Known for his work in the dancehall scene, Froggy Maddsquad helped shape the riddim’s uptempo sound. His experience brought a polished finish, and his label pushed the music to new listeners worldwide. Other tracks like “Whine Pon It” by Bencil Clickstar, “I Will Survive” by Patexx, and “Bring Your Body Come” by Wayne Wonder added even more variety. This dancehall set still stands as an important part of dancehall history, showing how different artists can unite under one powerful sound.
