Corduroy Overview
The Corduroy Riddim was a big part of dancehall music in 1994. This club-ready riddim was played at many dancehall events that year. It stood out because of its strong beat and the way different artists brought their own style to the songs. Jigsy King & Tony Curtis made a big impact with “Real Thing.” Their voices worked well together, making the song popular in dancehall circles. Admiral Bailey, known for hits like “Big Belly Man,” delivered “Money” on this riddim, adding his energetic style. Baby Cham, who would later become famous for songs like “Ghetto Story,” gave fans “Bun Batty Bwoy - Trugenal Remix.” Beenie Man, who won a Grammy Award in 2001 for his album “Art and Life,” appeared with both “Blessed” and “World Dance.” Both tracks show why Beenie Man is called the “King of Dancehall.” Capleton, known for his fiery lyrics, performed “Tek It Off,” which matched the riddim’s party energy. Other artists on the compilation include Daddy Lizard with “Careless Matey,” Elephant Man with “Ova Di Wall - Trugenal Remix,” Franky Sly with “Six Six Six,” and General Degree with “Only Master God.” The sound engineer played a key role, making sure every song sounded clear and powerful in the club.
