Diddle Riddim – Ragga Force 1999
Diddle Overview
In 1999, the Diddle Riddim became a strong force in dancehall sound system culture. The beat, made by a skilled riddim maker, was designed for heavy speakers and outdoor parties. It had a driving rhythm that made people want to dance. Sound systems across Jamaica picked up the set, and soon it was a favorite at street dances. The Diddle Riddim brought together several artists, each adding their own style. Admiral Bailey’s track, "Bailey Diddle," stood out with his trademark energetic voice. Admiral Bailey was already well-known for his hit "Big Belly Man," and his new song fit perfectly with the riddim’s vibe. Kathy’s "Advertencia" brought a different flavor, showing her strong delivery. Jazzmore And Pure Class added "Boom Boom Boom," a song with catchy hooks that got big reactions from crowds. Wildflower Renato completed the set with "Taking Your Love," which added a melodic touch to the collection. The riddim’s success was not just about the artists. The beat maker’s work gave each song a modern edge, blending classic dancehall sounds with new influences. This made the Diddle Riddim stand out in 1999’s bashment scene. The combination of powerful vocals and a unifying rhythm made it a must-play for selectors and a highlight for dancehall fans that year.
