Poison Ivy Riddim – Island Ride Music

Poison Ivy Overview

ISLAND RIDE MUSIC was the label behind one of the most talked-about dancehall sets of 2001. Their Poison Ivy Riddim became a favorite at sound clashes, keeping speakers shaking and crowds moving. The riddim brought together some of dancehall’s top voices, each adding their own style to the beat. Mr Vegas, known for his global hit “Heads High,” stood out with “Who Shot De Ghetto Youth.” His energetic delivery matched the riddim’s punchy style. Courtney Core brought “Chances Are” to the set, showing a smooth approach that balanced the harder tracks. Sean Paul, who would soon break into international charts with “Dutty Rock,” added “Stamp” to the lineup, showing the early signs of his crossover appeal. Rally Bopp’s “Bun Batty Bwoy” and Capleton’s “From A Distance” also made strong marks. Capleton, famous for songs like “Jah Jah City” and for his fiery stage presence, brought his signature intensity to the riddim. Each artist on the set contributed something unique, making the project feel fresh and full of energy. The beat itself was crafted by ISLAND RIDE MUSIC, a label known for its creative approach to dancehall production in the early 2000s. Their work on Poison Ivy Riddim helped shape the sound of bashment that year, and many fans remember it as a defining moment for the genre. With its mix of top artists and a driving riddim, this dancehall set captured the spirit of the era and kept dance floors packed throughout 2001.
