Jiggy Overview
The 1998 dancehall scene was full of energy, and the Jiggy Riddim brought together some of its most exciting voices. Christopher Melody & Rally Bop made waves with their song "Which Gal," showing off their strong chemistry and catchy style. Elephant Man, famous for his later hit "Pon De River, Pon De Bank," delivered "Give Dem Everything," adding his signature high-energy sound to the mix. Harry Toddler, known from his days with the Scare Dem Crew, brought emotion with "Mi Dear Child." Lexxus, who would later top charts with "Cook," turned up the heat on "Pure Hotty Hotty." Lukie D & Delly Ranks teamed up for the smooth track "Call Me," blending vocals and DJ skills. The heart of the riddim was its street anthem base, a sound that echoed through dancehalls and clubs all over Jamaica. The beat was lively and bold, making it a favorite for both partygoers and selectors. The foundation of the riddim was crafted by producer MO MUSIC, who was already known for shaping dancehall hits in the late 1990s. MO MUSIC had a reputation for mixing traditional dancehall with fresh, modern sounds, helping to push the genre forward. Looking back, the Jiggy Riddim’s street anthem base became a symbol of 1998’s dancehall spirit. It captured the energy, creativity, and unity of the time, leaving a lasting mark on the music and the culture.
