HEADACHE 2 RIDDIM produced by VP RECORDS 2000
Headache 2 Overview
The dub release of Headache 2 Riddim offers a rich mix of tracks that highlight the roots sound of early 2000s reggae. The instrumental itself is filled with deep bass and organic textures, giving a classic reggae feel. The dub versions let the riddim breathe, with echo and reverb adding to the atmosphere. On this release, several well-known artists bring their unique styles. Beenie Man, often called the “King of Dancehall,” delivers “Crazy Notion.” Beenie Man is famous worldwide, and his 2004 album “Back to Basics” reached the Billboard 200 chart. Christopher’s “That Way” brings a smooth, romantic touch, while Cpt Barkey’s “Miss Nelly Gal” adds humor and character, true to his style as a dancehall veteran. Dj Snow creates energy with “Headache Megamix,” blending different voices and samples. Elephant Man, known for his energetic performances and hits like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” teams up with Delly Ranks for “Headache,” and also appears solo on “Inna Dem Blood.” These tracks show Elephant Man’s signature lively delivery. Other artists like Isan with “Clear Di Way,” Kiprich on “Badness,” Lexxus with “Penny We,” and Madd Anju on “Must Breed Something” each bring their own flair to the riddim. VP RECORDS, the producer behind this release, is one of reggae’s most important labels. Founded in Jamaica in the late 1970s, VP has helped bring reggae and dancehall to international audiences. Headache 2 Riddim is a strong example of the label’s ability to keep the roots spirit alive for new generations.
