Flirt Riddim - The Phantom

FLIRT RIDDIM produced by THE PHANTOM 1996

Flirt Overview

Flirt Riddim was brought to the dancehall by the label Bashment Arranger, known for spotlighting the hottest selectors and producers in the 1990s. This compilation dropped in 1996, right into the heart of the bashment scene, and quickly became a favorite for DJs and partygoers. The release featured a strong lineup of artists. Caddi Mus delivered “Still A Grow Mi Locks,” a song that matched the riddim’s playful style. Daddy Screw came in with “Si Senorita,” showing the same energy he brought to his well-known hit “Big Things A Gwaan.” King Kong’s “Flirt” was another highlight, adding his signature voice to the mix. King Kong is famous in dancehall for his song “Trouble Again,” which helped make his name in the late 1980s. Ninja Man’s “Japanese Slang” brought a sharp edge to the compilation. Ninja Man is known for his fast lyrics and stage battles, and he won the Sting clash in 1990, a major moment in his career. Sugar Minott, a legend in both reggae and dancehall, contributed “Request De Work.” Minott was a pioneer of the dancehall sound and is well remembered for his classic “Good Thing Going.” The riddim was produced by THE PHANTOM, a name linked to many top bashment releases of the 90s. THE PHANTOM’s productions are known for their heavy bass and catchy hooks, making this compilation a staple in dancehall history.
