CHILLIN RIDDIM produced by BASS RECORDS 1999
Chillin Overview
The Chillin Riddim is remembered as a standout dancehall set from 1999. The studio hand behind this release played a big role in shaping its sound, bringing together the right artists and keeping the energy high. At the center of it all was BASS RECORDS, a label known for pushing dancehall forward in the late 1990s. BASS RECORDS had already made a name for itself with several popular riddim releases, and their work on Chillin Riddim added to their reputation for quality productions. The artists on this set each brought their own style. Baby Wayne, known for his sharp lyrics and streetwise delivery, contributed "Buss The Place." Fans of dancehall will remember Baby Wayne for his earlier hit "Mama," which made waves in the early 1990s. Roundhead, a member of the Monster Shack Crew, gave us "Chillin." His work with the crew helped define dancehall’s sound in the late 90s. Simpleton, with his unique voice, delivered "Dracula"—a track that got plenty of pull-ups in the dances. Fans still talk about how these songs lit up street dances in 1999. The Chillin Riddim was a selector’s favorite, with each artist adding their own flavor. Even today, the set brings back memories of the energy and excitement of dancehall’s golden years.
