BOULBI RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2006
Boulbi Overview
In 2006, dancehall music was changing fast, but some riddims kept the original spirit alive. The Boulbi Riddim is a great example from this time. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, is known for bringing together new and established talent on strong, bass-heavy tracks. With a history of working on several influential dancehall projects, VARIOUS ARTISTS helped shape the sound of the mid-2000s. On the Boulbi Riddim, each artist brought something unique. Boulbi’s track, “Version,” is a classic instrumental that lets the riddim shine. Kalash, who would later become well-known for songs like “Kaos” and his albums blending dancehall and rap, delivers “Ou L? Test.” His style on this riddim shows the energy he would bring to bigger projects in the years ahead. Lieutenant’s “Kill Batty” adds a raw edge. Lieutenant is known in the dancehall scene for his direct lyrics and powerful delivery. Messen’s “Blackman” stands out for its deep voice and commanding presence, adding another layer to the riddim’s sound. The Boulbi Riddim carried the raw energy that dancehall fans wanted in 2006. Its heavy bass, catchy hooks, and electric vocals made it popular in clubs and on the radio. Even today, it is remembered as one of the pure dancehall sounds from that era, showing how the genre could stay true to its roots while still sounding fresh. VARIOUS ARTISTS and the featured artists made a lasting impact with this release.
