GRUNT RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES PRODUCTIONS 1994
Grunt Overview
Back in 1994, the Grunt Riddim was the heartbeat of many late-night dancehall parties. This riddim was more than just a beat; it was a meeting place for different styles and sounds. You could hear how it mixed dancehall energy with touches of hip hop and R&B, making everyone want to dance. Beenie Man brought his song “Modelling” to the riddim. By then, Beenie Man was already making waves. Just a year later, he would release his hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” showing his strong place in dancehall. Beetle Bailey added “Gwan,” bringing his own flavour and a cool delivery. Little Kirk, known for his smooth voice, sang “I Swear” on the riddim. Little Kirk is the brother of reggae star Beenie Man, and he’s known for songs like “Ghetto People Broke.” Behind the scenes, the mixing board king made sure every voice and instrument sounded tight and clear. The producer, SHOCKING VIBES PRODUCTIONS, was a big name in Jamaica at the time. They worked with artists like Beenie Man and produced many hits in the 1990s. Selectors loved Grunt Riddim. They played it at dances all over Jamaica in 1994. The mix of styles and strong artists made this riddim a favorite, and it still brings back memories of those lively dancehall nights.
