Petty Thief Overview
H2O PRODUCTIONS was the label behind the Petty Thief Riddim, a dancehall release that made waves in 2006. Known for shaping the sound of mid-2000s dancehall, H2O PRODUCTIONS worked with many top artists and helped push the genre worldwide. The label was especially active during this era, producing hits that selectors and fans still rate highly. Among the standout tracks, Vybz Kartel’s “Full Up Of Grass” brought his unmistakable voice and lyrical style. Kartel, who later released the successful album “King of the Dancehall” in 2016, was already making a big name for himself at this time. Bounty Killer, a veteran in the scene and winner of the 2002 MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act, delivered “Slang Slang,” showing his commanding presence on the riddim. Busy Signal’s “2 Much Gun” added his energetic flow. Busy Signal would later be known for tracks like “Stay So” and his work with Major Lazer. Chico & Taz teamed up for “Watchie Watchie,” bringing a catchy hook to the mix. Daseca, known for their production skills, contributed “Petty Thief Rhythm,” showing their talent behind the boards. The Petty Thief Riddim still gets play from selectors looking for that classic dancehall vibe. Its energy and the line-up of top artists keep it relevant in dancehall parties today.
