Junkyard Riddim – Jamdown Records 1999
Junkyard Overview
The Junkyard Riddim is a true example of late-90s dancehall energy. Its bashment rhythm is lively and raw, with heavy drums and a bouncing bassline that makes people want to move. The riddim keeps a steady island groove, bringing a real Jamaican street party vibe to every track. On this compilation, the artists bring their own style and sharp lyrics. Don Yute stands out with “Best Pussy,” showing off his confident flow. Don Yute is also known for his hit “Row Da Boat” with Sean Paul, which helped him reach a wider audience. Goofy delivers “Clinton Defence,” using his playful approach that made him popular in the dancehall scene. Madd Anju’s “Tightmess” adds humor and clever wordplay, something he is well respected for. Mega Banton comes strong on “War,” showing the tough side of dancehall. He is famous for his early hit “Sound Boy Killing,” which made him a household name. Polly Famous and Don Diego team up on “14 Shooter,” bringing a catchy hook and streetwise lyrics. The riddim’s builder made sure each track fits together smoothly. The production keeps the energy high and the rhythm tight, giving every artist space to shine. This compilation is a good look at what yard music was about in 1999—sharp lyrics, strong beats, and pure dancehall vibes.
