Haunted Riddim – Annex X Yaga Yaga X Irie Negril 1996
Haunted Overview
In 1996, bashment flow was full of energy and fun. The sound was a mix of gritty beats and smooth dancehall style. This made parties lively and kept dancehall fans excited. The Haunted Riddim fit right into this vibe, bringing a fresh groove to the year’s music. The riddim was built by Computer Paul, a respected musician and producer in Jamaica. Computer Paul is known for his work with many big names in reggae and dancehall. On this project, his touch can be heard on Computer Paul — Version, which gives the riddim its solid backbone. Boom Dandimite and Harry Toddler teamed up for Boy Like Me, blending their voices smoothly over the beat. Harry Toddler is also known for his work with the Scare Dem Crew, a group that helped shape dancehall in the 1990s. Captain Barkey brought his own style with 800-888-8000, adding a catchy hook that sticks in your mind. General B’s Strong Like Vandam is another highlight. General B is famous for his time with Monster Shack Crew, and his strong delivery shines here. Ghost, a singer with a unique voice, appears twice: Bone Dice and Im Your Ghost, both showing his smooth vocals. Each artist added their own flavor, making this bashment project a standout in 1996’s dancehall scene.
