Headache Riddim – Jammys 1999
Headache Overview
When Headache Riddim dropped in 1999, dancehall fans and DJs could not get enough. This sound system cut became a favourite at parties, with its heavy bass and hypnotic rhythm. Compared to other bashment hits of the late 1990s, Headache Riddim stood out for its clean, driving beat and the way it let artists shine. Admiral Bailey’s “Deh Pon Mi Name” was a standout track. Bailey was already famous for hits like “Big Belly Man,” and his strong delivery brought extra energy to the riddim. Angel Doolas gave the crowd “Wheel Of Fortune,” showing his unique style. Chuck Fender, known for later songs like “Gash Dem,” delivered “Water Hose” with his usual fire. Other artists on the riddim included Daddy Screw with “Hiv Positive,” Filco Ranks with “Plum Plum,” and Galaxy P’s “Been There.” Each song had its own flavour, but all shared the same powerful Headache Riddim. The instrumental, “Headache — Instrumental,” let sound systems show off the riddim’s full strength. Hot Shot Crew’s “Good Food” and Pinchers’ “Be Wise” also added to the bashment vibes. The sound engineer played a key role, making sure every vocal and beat hit hard in the dance. The mix was crisp and heavy, perfect for big speakers. Headache Riddim remains a classic slice of 1999 dancehall, with unforgettable energy and style.
