COLD BUMP RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL B 1998
Cold Bump Overview
The Cold Bump Riddim brought a fresh energy to dancehall in 1998. Its rhythm is infectious, with a steady, groovy bass that keeps dancers moving all night. The riddim’s sound is both tough and smooth, blending sharp drum patterns with catchy melodies. This made it a favorite in clubs across Jamaica, where selectors would drop it to get the crowd hyped. Several talented artists rode the Cold Bump Riddim, each adding their own style. Baby Wayne’s “Boy Loose Him Girl” stands out with his signature delivery. Baby Wayne is well known for his 1992 hit “Mama,” which helped establish his name in dancehall. Bobby Crystal shines on “Care About You,” bringing a soulful edge to the riddim. Daddy Screw, who made waves with his energetic performances in the 1990s, delivers “Slim Little Nigga” with his usual flair. Mega Banton, known for his 1994 hit “Sound Boy Killing,” adds “Midnight Attraction,” showing why his deep voice is loved by fans. Digital, or Robert “Bobby Digital” Dixon, provides the “Cold Bump Rhythm Version,” letting the riddim itself take center stage. Behind the scenes, the producer DIGITAL B played a key role. Bobby Digital, founder of the Digital B label, is respected for helping shape the sound of modern dancehall. He worked with stars like Shabba Ranks and Garnett Silk, and his productions are known for their clean, powerful sound. The Cold Bump Riddim is one of many examples of his lasting influence.
