IT WASN’T ME RIDDIM produced by 2001 – BIG YARD PRODUCTION
It Wasnt Me Overview
In 2001, roots reggae was finding new life in Jamaica’s music scene. The “It Wasnt Me Riddim” was part of this fresh wave, echoing classic vibes through modern sound systems. Produced by Big Yard, a well-known label in reggae and dancehall, the riddim brought together top artists for a memorable project. Shaggy, already famous for his global hit “It Wasn’t Me,” joined Rikrok for the track “it wasn’t me.” This song became an international anthem, topping charts in several countries and helping Shaggy’s album “Hot Shot” reach multi-platinum status. Rikrok’s smooth vocals made the chorus unforgettable. Lady Saw, known as the “Queen of Dancehall,” teamed up with marsha for the hard-hitting “son of a bitch.” Lady Saw made history as the first female deejay to win a Grammy Award, and her bold style shines on this track. Beenie Man, another giant in reggae and dancehall, contributed “it was me.” Beenie Man is celebrated for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” and won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2001. Sole added his own style with “it wasn’t me,” while Raison’s “it wasn’t me” and Danny English & Singing Prince’s “dem boy” showed the riddim’s versatility. The “it wasn’t me rhythm version” by Big Yard ties the project together, letting the roots instrumental shine. This collection captured the energy and spirit of 2001 reggae, blending foundation sounds with fresh voices and rhythms that moved both dance floors and deep listeners.
