Headache Overview
Today, the Headache Riddim is still remembered as one of the most club-ready dancehall beats from the late 1990s. It was the soundtrack for many sound clashes, with its heavy bass and catchy melody making every party come alive. DJs and fans alike recall how the riddim kept speakers shaking and dance floors packed. Looking back, Headache Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most respected voices. Alozade gave fans the energetic “Nuh Pet Gal,” while Beenie Man delivered his unique style on “Crazy Notion.” Capleton’s “Hunt You” added a fiery presence, and Captain Barkey’s “Miss Nelly Gal” stood out with its playful lyrics. Christopher’s “That Way” brought a smoother touch to the mix. Elephant Man made a big impact with “Inna Dem Blood,” and teamed up with Delly Ranks for the powerful “Headache.” Delly Ranks also recorded his own version, “Headache,” showing his versatility. Frisco Kid’s “Anything Fi Look Hot” and Kiprich’s “Badness” added even more variety, helping the riddim reach different corners of the dancehall scene. Behind this memorable project was producer L. "Flabba" Malcolm. Known for his work with MO MUSIC PRODUCTIONS, Malcolm helped shape the sound of late 1990s dancehall. He has a history of working with talented artists and crafting riddims that stand the test of time. Headache Riddim remains an important part of dancehall history. Its lasting popularity at parties and clashes shows just how powerful a well-built riddim can be in bringing people together and keeping the culture alive.
