FILTHY RIDDIM produced by D. JUVENILE and H. BROWNE for MAIN STREET RECORDS
Filthy Overview
In 1998, the Filthy Riddim sound system cut captured the raw spirit of dancehall. As sound clashes heated up across Jamaica, this riddim kept speakers shaking and crowds lively. Its energy fit perfectly with the late '90s, a time when dancehall was pushing boundaries and sound systems ruled the streets. The architects behind Filthy Riddim were D. JUVENILE and H. BROWNE, working under the banner of Main Street Records. Main Street Records was known for its sharp, innovative productions and helped launch several dancehall hits in the 1990s. D. BROWNE’s approach brought a fresh, singjay-driven style to the genre, making their riddims favorites among selectors and artists alike. Beenie Man’s “Let Him Go” rides the riddim with his signature confidence, delivering catchy lyrics that connect with dancehall fans. Buccaneer’s “Tek It Easy” adds a playful touch, showing his knack for blending melody with streetwise lyrics. Chrissy D brings a different flavor with “Big Timer,” her vocals gliding smoothly over the beat and giving the riddim a unique edge. General Degree’s “Traffic Blocking” stands out for its clever wordplay, while Goofy’s “Someone Just poop” adds humor, lightening the mood in the dance. These artists, each with their distinct style, helped make Filthy Riddim a staple in dancehall sessions. The sound system cut of Filthy Riddim remains a key part of dancehall history, remembered for its heavy bass, infectious energy, and the way it brought artists and fans together on the dancefloor.
