Flex / Boom Bye Bye Overview

The Flex / Boom Bye Bye riddim brought a powerful roots vibe to reggae in 1992. Its instrumental is built on deep, steady basslines and classic reggae drum patterns. The groove has an earthy, laid-back feeling, making it perfect for both dancing and relaxed listening. This roots-style rhythm helped carry the traditional reggae sound into the new decade, keeping the music’s foundation strong. Several standout artists recorded on this riddim. Alton Black delivered “Sexual Healing,” adding his unique vocal style to the mix. Buju Banton’s “Boom Bye Bye” became one of his most talked-about tracks, marking a significant moment early in his career. General TK brought “I Spy - Flex,” showing his skillful delivery. Glen Ricks contributed “Been So Long,” highlighting his smooth, soulful voice. Grindsman’s “Mate Mad Again” is another notable track, adding energy and attitude to the set. Each artist brought their own flavor, but together they shared the riddim’s rootsy spirit. Buju Banton, in particular, went on to become one of reggae’s biggest names, later winning a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2011.
