Goddess Riddim – 2000

GODDESS RIDDIM produced by 2000

Goddess Overview

The Goddess Riddim arrived in 2000, released by the respected label behind many dancehall hits. As soon as the selector’s choice version dropped, it became a favourite in bashment sessions across Jamaica and beyond. The riddim’s hard-hitting style and infectious groove set the tone for a new wave of dancehall energy. A big part of the riddim’s success comes from the artists who voiced it. Michael Knight stands out with “Sex Bomb,” a track that quickly became a dancefloor staple. Michael Knight is also known for his 1998 hit “Champion,” which helped raise his profile in the dancehall scene. Goddess delivers her own unique flair on “Pussy Cat Rigorod,” adding a bold and playful vibe. Daddy Boasting, recognized for his energetic performances, brings extra fire with “Boots Is Knocking.” Flimpoman’s “Babylon” rounds out the set, giving the riddim a conscious edge and showcasing his lyrical skills. The riddim creator, Locks, crafted the instrumental with a focus on heavy basslines and sharp, driving percussion. Locks is respected in the dancehall community for his ability to build rhythms that get people moving, and the Goddess Riddim is a clear example of his talent. Even years later, this selector’s choice is remembered as one of the pure dancehall sounds of 2000. Its energy, standout tracks, and the artists involved have secured its place in dancehall history. For fans and selectors alike, the Goddess Riddim remains a must-play classic.
