Dirty Riddim – Gargamel

DIRTY RIDDIM produced by GARGAMEL 2001

Dirty Overview

In 2001, dancehall music was full of energy and excitement. The bashment rhythm was everywhere, echoing through clubs and street dances across Jamaica. That year, the Dirty Riddim stood out as one of the most powerful bashment projects. Its hard-hitting beat fit perfectly with the sound of the time, making it a favorite for both DJs and fans. The producer behind Dirty Riddim was GARGAMEL. GARGAMEL is well known in the dancehall world, not just for producing, but also for running the Gargamel Music label. The label has been home to top acts and has helped shape the sound of modern dancehall. GARGAMEL’s influence can be heard in the way each track on the riddim carries a strong, yardie vibe. Buju Banton’s “Click Click Stick” is one of the standout tracks. Buju Banton is a Grammy-winning artist, famous for songs like “Champion” and his album “Til Shiloh.” His powerful voice rides the Dirty Riddim perfectly. The team-up of Buju Banton & Elephant Man on “Xtra Xrated” brings even more fire, mixing Buju’s deep delivery with Elephant Man’s wild energy. Chuck Fender’s “Kick Of Dem Face” is another highlight. Chuck Fender is known for his conscious lyrics and has made a mark with songs like “Gash Dem.” Hot Shot Crew brings “See And Blind,” while Kiprich Singer J delivers “Sexy Body Gal,” both adding their own style to the riddim.
