BOOTY TALK RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2006
Booty Talk Overview
In 2006, the bashment rhythm known as Booty Talk Riddim captured the rebellious spirit of dancehall music. The journey of this rhythm began in a small Kingston studio, where sound engineer Andre “Supa” Morris worked late nights to perfect its raw, hypnotic sound. He layered sharp snares and deep basslines, giving the riddim a bold energy that stood out from other releases of the time. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, was known for bringing together different voices on one project. Over the years, VARIOUS ARTISTS had built a reputation for creative compilations that highlighted the best of the genre. Their projects often found success on regional charts and streaming platforms, making them a respected name in dancehall circles. Two standout performances on the Booty Talk Riddim came from Kerwin Du Bois and Shelly Edwards. Kerwin Du Bois, already known for his songwriting and production work in soca and dancehall, delivered the track “Booty Talk.” His unique style and catchy hooks brought new attention to the riddim. Shelly Edwards added her own flavor with “Cyclone Wine,” giving the compilation another memorable highlight. Both artists helped to define the sound of the riddim, each bringing their own approach and energy. For dancehall fans, 2006 cannot be remembered without this compilation. The Booty Talk Riddim’s journey from creation to release showed how a bold rhythm, strong production, and standout artists could come together to make something unforgettable. Even years later, the riddim’s impact is still felt in dancehall culture.
