Medicine Overview
In 1997, one selector’s mix brought a fresh energy to the dancehall scene. This mix stood out at bashment events that year, thanks to its clever song choices and smooth flow. Compared to other selector mixes of the time, this one felt more lively and connected, with each track building on the last. The mix featured standout songs like Baby Cham’s “Goodas Girl.” Baby Cham was rising fast in the late 1990s and would soon be known worldwide for his hit “Ghetto Story.” Another highlight was Beenie Man’s “Teenie Weenie.” Beenie Man is one of dancehall’s biggest stars and won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2001.

Other tracks, like Kezi’s “Ghetto News,” Louie Culture’s “Big & Bold,” Spragga Benz’s “Machine Gun Kelly,” and Wayne Wonder’s “Sweet & Sour,” kept the crowd moving. Each artist brought their own style, making the mix exciting from start to finish. The track builder played an important role, making sure each song flowed well into the next.
