GOOFY RIDDIM produced by EQUEST RECORDS 1999
Goofy Overview
In 1999, the Goofy Riddim brought a fresh sound to dancehall music. The collection stood out for its sharp lyrics and strong dancehall grooves. At a time when many riddims were heavy and fast, Goofy Riddim offered a lighter, more playful beat. This made it popular at bashment events across Jamaica that year. The artists on the riddim each added their own style. Ever Sparks performed "Only One," bringing his clear voice and catchy hooks. Goldelox, known for his energetic delivery, gave us "Lively Up Yourself." Iceman, who later became famous for his hit "Body Talk" in 2000, energized the track "Bigger Better Than Before." Okunko’s "Fire Burn Dem Down" added a tougher edge, showing the riddim could handle both party vibes and serious lyrics. Behind the scenes, EQUEST RECORDS produced the project. The label is known for working with new talent and helping to shape the sound of late 1990s dancehall. Their studio team made sure each song had a unique feel, while still fitting the riddim’s overall style. Compared to other collections from the same era, Goofy Riddim balanced fun and lyrical skill. It was less aggressive than some rivals, but just as ready for the dancefloor. This balance helped it become a favorite for both DJs and fans.
