Jigga Aka A Who Thing Overview
In 1999, a new dancehall riddim brought strong street energy to parties and dancehalls across Jamaica. This collection stood out for its heavy bass and sharp percussion, making it a favorite for bashments and festivals. The riddim’s beat became the base for several street anthems, giving each artist a powerful foundation for their lyrics and delivery. Anthony B, known for his conscious lyrics and hits like "Fire Pon Rome," added to the riddim’s power with his track "Jailhouse." Capleton, who had already made his mark with the album "More Fire," delivered "Twist & Turn," showing his energetic style. Captain Barkey, a respected voice in dancehall, brought the crowd to life with "Twingi Twanga." Delicate joined the lineup with "Benjamins," while Delly Ranks, known for his work as both a deejay and producer, contributed "Deh About Nuff." Other artists on the riddim included Future Trouble with "Jiggy Wid It," General B with "Pon Ends," Jigsy King with "Wah Dis," Lexxus with "Make Some Money," and Max Wayne & Balck Rat teaming up for "Nah Drop Shield." Each artist gave a unique take, but all kept the street anthem energy alive. Fans remember this collection as a highlight of 1999, with songs that kept the dancefloor moving and the spirit of dancehall strong.
