JOOK YIY RIDDIM produced by YARD VYBZ 2017
Jook Yiy Overview
In 2017, the Jook Yiy Riddim brought fresh energy to dancehall, especially through classic yard session tapes. These parties, powered by big sound systems, are a key part of Jamaican music culture. DJs play riddims loud, and artists take turns on the mic, making each session feel alive and unique. Jook Yiy Riddim stood out that year, filling yards with heavy bass and catchy hooks. The riddim’s creator, YARD VYBZ, played a big part in its success. Known for working with top dancehall acts, YARD VYBZ has built a reputation for tight production and melodic progressions. The label’s riddims often become favorites in dancehall circles, and Jook Yiy was no exception. With thousands of streams online, it made a mark both at home and abroad. Wayne Marshall’s “Best Smoke” is one of the highlights on this riddim. Marshall is known for hits like “Glory to God,” and he brings his smooth style here. Vybz Kartel, a major figure in dancehall with chart-toppers like “Fever,” adds his own flair with “Yah Look.” Mr Vegas, famous for the global hit “Heads High,” brings energy with “Prase Him.” New Kids get their big break with “Mesh Merina,” showing how the riddim gave a platform to new voices. Jook Yiy Riddim’s yard session tape captured the spirit of 2017’s dancehall. It mixed established stars with rising talent, all set to the pulse of sound system culture. This release still stands tall among the year’s heavy bashment drops.
