BUS A BUS RIDDIM produced by PROSPERITY 2000
Bus A Bus Overview
The Bus A Bus Riddim came together in a small Kingston studio in 2000. The sound engineer pushed for a clean but heavy bassline, using analog gear to give the riddim a warm, live feeling. He wanted a sound that would stand out on big speakers at yard parties and street dances. The producer behind the project, PROSPERITY, is known for sharp production and a knack for picking the right artists for each riddim. PROSPERITY has worked with several well-known labels and has a reputation for bringing fresh energy to the dancehall scene in the early 2000s. On this riddim, Saba Feat Alaska brought “Jamaican Translate.” Their style is direct and powerful, with Saba’s delivery matched by Alaska’s energy. Alaska also appears solo on “Jamaican Translate,” showing off his own lyrical skills and deep connection to the Kingston dancehall sound. Saba Feat Ghost delivered “The Light,” a track that stands out for its catchy hook and strong performance. Ghost, who had already made waves with the hit “Bodyguard” in the 1990s, brings his signature smooth voice to “The Light.” This track was a favorite among DJs, who played it at many sound system sessions across Jamaica. The Bus A Bus Riddim became a true yard classic, remembered for its raw energy and the way it captured the spirit of early 2000s dancehall.
