GRABBA RIDDIM produced by HIGHER HEIGHTS 2000
Grabba Overview
In the year 2000, dancehall music was all about energy, parties, and the bashment flow. Bashment, a Jamaican term for a lively party or dance, shaped the sound and style of the time. Selectors and fans wanted tracks that could keep the crowd moving all night. In this setting, a new dancehall collection arrived and quickly became a favorite among selectors for its dancefloor power. At the heart of this collection was the Grabba Riddim, produced by HIGHER HEIGHTS. This producer is known for bringing together top artists and creating riddims that work well in the dancehall scene. HIGHER HEIGHTS has a reputation for crafting beats that are both catchy and versatile, making them a staple in many selectors’ crates during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Grabba Riddim featured a strong lineup of artists. Elephant Man delivered "Bow Wow," adding his trademark high-energy style. Elephant Man, often called the "Energy God," is famous for hits like "Pon Di River Pon Di Bank," which became an international dance anthem. Frankie Sly contributed with "Crappa," bringing his own smooth yet gritty delivery. Kiprich, another standout, dropped "Too Freaky." Kiprich later gained wider attention for his witty lyrics and collaborations, including the hit "Telephone Ting" with Voicemail. This dancehall collection stood out in 2000 as a true bashment highlight. Each artist brought their unique touch, and under the direction of HIGHER HEIGHTS, the riddim captured the spirit of the genre, keeping the dancehall alive and vibrant.
