Joker Overview
In 2000, dancehall was all about energy and big riddims that kept clubs moving. The Joker Riddim fit right into this moment, offering a sound that selectors loved for its bashment-ready tracks. With its hypnotic groove and driving beat, the riddim stood out among the year’s heavy dancehall releases, making it a favorite for DJs and partygoers alike. Behind the scenes, SPRINGVALE MUSIC played a big part in shaping the sound. Known for producing tracks that connect with the streets and the dance, SPRINGVALE MUSIC has worked with many top artists in Jamaica’s music scene.

On Joker Riddim, each artist brought their own style. Frisco Kid delivered “Is It,” adding his energetic flow.

General B Patchy’s “The Business” kept the energy high, while Hawkeye’s “I Pray” showed his knack for catchy hooks.
