OBEAH RIDDIM produced by STUDIO 2000 1997
Obeah Overview
The bashment flow of the late 1990s brought a new excitement to dancehall. The rhythm was fast, sharp, and full of energy. It made people want to dance as soon as the beat dropped. The Obeah Riddim is a good example of this style. Its crisp melodies and heavy bass gave selectors a strong choice for their sets in 2000. The riddim created a lively mood in clubs and sound system sessions. Artists like Buccaneer, Daddy Screw, General Degree, and Mega Banton each brought their own style to the riddim. Buccaneer’s “Obeah” stood out with his unique voice and delivery. Daddy Screw, best known for his hit “Big Things A Gwaan,” added his own flavor with “Morning Ride.” General Degree, who also had chart success with “Traffic Blocking,” gave fans “Last Night,” showing his smooth flow. Mega Banton, famous for “Sound Boy Killing,” delivered “Pop Style,” adding his deep vocals to the mix. The riddim’s sound was shaped by STUDIO 2000, a respected name in dancehall production. STUDIO 2000 is known for working with top Jamaican artists and for creating several popular riddims in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their work on Obeah Riddim gave selectors and fans a fresh sound with lasting impact. The selector’s mix of these tracks became a highlight for bashment lovers, helping to define the era’s dancehall vibe.
