DUTTY GULLY RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2006
Dutty Gully Overview
In 2006, the dancehall scene was full of energy, and the street anthem base of the Dutty Gully Riddim fit right in. This riddim was a favorite at bashment events, where selectors kept it in heavy rotation. Its raw sound and driving beat matched the vibe of the year, making it a go-to for parties and street dances. Behind the project was the producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS. With a history of working across different labels and bringing together top talent, VARIOUS ARTISTS made a name by creating riddims that connected with both artists and fans. Their approach to production helped shape the sound of mid-2000s dancehall, and the Dutty Gully Riddim is one of their standout works. The artists on this riddim each brought their own style. Assassin’s “Keep Dem Talking” stands out, adding sharp lyrics to the heavy beat. Assassin is known for his strong delivery and later gained international fame, including features with Kendrick Lamar. Bling Dawg’s “Big Up All Things” keeps the energy high; he is respected for his consistent presence in dancehall since the early 2000s. Delicous delivers the title track “Dutty Gully,” bringing catchy hooks to the mix. Fletcher B’s “Hot Patty” and Greg Hinds’ “Zum Zum” round out the project, each adding their own flavor and helping to make the riddim a staple at dances throughout the year.
