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. The label’s influence grew in the late 1990s and early 2000s, helping to launch several memorable riddims and singles that became staples in dancehall. On Joker Riddim, each artist brought their own style. Frisco Kid delivered “Is It,” adding his energetic flow. Frisco Kid is known for his hit “Gal Pon De Side” and has been a fixture in dancehall since the 1990s. General B Patchy’s “The Business” kept the energy high, while Hawkeye’s “I Pray” showed his knack for catchy hooks.
