BOOM RIDDIM produced by ADEX RECORDS 1996
Boom Overview
Back in 1996, the bashment scene was alive with new sounds and energy. The Boom Riddim captured that moment, and its journey from studio to dancehall is a true story for reggae fans. The project started at ADEX RECORDS, a label known for bold dancehall productions and shaping the era’s sound. ADEX RECORDS had already made waves with other releases, and this one was no different. The sound system cut was crafted with care. Gritty beats met smooth dancehall flow, thanks to the steady hands of the mixing board king. His touch gave the riddim its deep bass and sharp highs, making every speaker vibrate. In the studio, artists lined up to ride the beat. Capleton brought fire with “Batty Man Fi Get Boom,” delivering his signature energy. Lexxus kept the crowd moving with “Give It To Them,” a track that showed his rising star power. Sean Paul, who would later become a Grammy winner with hits like “Get Busy,” dropped “Gun Speech” on the riddim, adding his unique voice. Shabba Ranks, already a dancehall legend with two Grammy Awards, gave us “Fuck Dem.” Sizzla, known for his powerful lyrics, added “Bumrush” to the mix. When Boom Riddim dropped, it became a standout bashment release. Every track echoed through sound systems, making it a favorite in every yard and dance.
