GAL A WASP RIDDIM produced by VIBES HOUSE 1998
Gal A Wasp Overview
The Gal A Wasp riddim brought a powerful energy to dancehall in 1998. Its sound is bold and full of life, with deep basslines and a bouncing rhythm that made people want to dance. The beat is fast and sharp, fitting perfectly into the bashment style that ruled the dancefloor in Jamaica and beyond during the late 1990s. Alley Cat’s “Hot Gal A Pass” stands out with his lively delivery, matching the riddim’s raw energy. Beenie Man, known for hits like “Who Am I,” adds his own fire to the project with “Matie Payroll.” His reputation as the “King of Dancehall” was already strong by this time, and his appearance on this riddim only added to his legacy. Richie Stephens & Copper Cat bring a serious vibe on “Stepping Dangerous,” blending their voices over the heavy instrumental. Tanto Metro & Devonte, who later found international success with “Everyone Falls In Love,” keep the party going on “How We Win Dem.” R.P’s “Let Me Go” adds another layer, showing the riddim’s versatility. Other artists like King David (“She Loves Me”), Mega Banton (“Midnight Attraction”), Mr Pong (“No Deal”), Raymond Wright (“All The Love”), and Ricky Rudie Aka Bling Dawg (“Tek Me Weh”) each bring their own style, making the compilation rich and exciting. Behind it all is VIBES HOUSE, the producer responsible for this riddim’s creation. Known for crafting dancehall beats that stand out, VIBES HOUSE helped shape the sound of the late ‘90s. Looking back, the Gal A Wasp riddim kept the dancehall scene vibrant and alive in 1998.
