Gun Talk Overview

The bashment rhythm on this compilation is bold and energetic, with a strong digital sound that was popular in early 1990s dancehall. The beat has a heavy, driving bassline and sharp snares, making it perfect for dancefloors. The rhythm blends tough, hardcore deejay styles with smoother, melodic vocals, creating a sound that is both raw and catchy. It captures the excitement and rebellious energy of that era, drawing dancers in with its infectious groove. General Brains shines on the track "Girls," delivering playful lyrics over the pulsing riddim. Junior Cat brings fire with "Trailer load a gun," showing off the rapid-fire delivery that made him a standout in the dancehall scene. Junior Demus, known for his gruff voice, adds to the energy with "Easy nuh man." Louie Ranking, famous for his 1992 hit "Typewriter," keeps the vibe going on "Don doc," bringing his signature swagger. Medallion’s "100 yard dash" adds more flavor, showing versatility on the same rhythm. Behind the scenes, SHELLY'S RECORDS played a key role in shaping this release. The label was founded in New York by Phillip Smart and became known for working with major dancehall and reggae artists during the late 1980s and early 1990s. SHELLY'S RECORDS helped spread the dancehall sound internationally, making it a respected name in the industry. This bashment rhythm became a touchstone of dancehall culture in 1991.
