BY YOUR WORDS RIDDIM produced by KARIANG 1997
By Your Words Overview
In 1997, the By Your Words Riddim brought a new energy to dancehall music. The rhythm, often called a “bashment” style, was loud, joyful, and perfect for parties. What made it special was how it mixed classic dancehall sounds with touches of reggae and even hints of hip hop. This blend made the music fresh and exciting for fans on the street and in the clubs. Several artists helped shape the riddim’s success. Chezidek gave a strong performance with “Congregation.” He is well known for his later hit “Leave De Trees,” but on this track, he showed his early talent. Lisa Danger brought her own energy with “Row The Boat.” Her delivery added a playful touch to the riddim. Sizzla, a famous name in reggae and dancehall, recorded “By Your Words.” Sizzla is widely known for his classic album “Black Woman & Child,” and his work on this riddim showed his sharp lyrical style. Terry Ganzie also appeared twice, with “Wicked & Hot Version” and “Wicked & Hot.” Terry Ganzie is respected in the dancehall world for tracks like “Ragga Ragga.” Producer KARIANG played a key role. KARIANG, known for his Kariang Productions label, was behind several big dancehall projects in the 1990s. His skill brought all the artists together, making the By Your Words Riddim a true highlight of 1997’s dancehall scene.
