Punanny Nowadays Overview
The bashment flow of the Punanny Nowadays Riddim started in the studio with a clear vision. The producer behind the project, SHOCKING VIBES, wanted to create a dancehall sound that was both fresh and powerful. SHOCKING VIBES, a well-known production team from Jamaica, helped shape the 1990s dancehall era. They are famous for working with top artists and for their influence on the sound of dancehall music. The riddim’s energy comes from its heavy bass, catchy melodies, and fast-paced drum patterns. SHOCKING VIBES pushed for a sound that would get people moving on the dance floor, and the artists delivered. Alley Cat steps up with “Yuh Hotta,” bringing his unique voice and playful lyrics. Beenie Man, one of dancehall’s biggest stars, appears twice with “Romie” and “Girls Dem Sugar.” “Girls Dem Sugar” is especially famous, as it later became a worldwide hit when Beenie Man re-recorded it with American singer Mýa in 2000. Beenie Man teams up with Tanto Metro on “Middle Of The Night,” showing their chemistry and keeping the vibe lively. Buccaneer’s “Bruck Weh” adds his signature pirate style, while Devonte’s “Good Wine” brings smooth vocals. Fabian delivers “Full A Potential,” and General B adds energy with “Stand Up.” Ghost slows things down with “Because You Loved Me,” and Little Kirk’s “Run To Me” rounds out the collection. Even years after its release in 1996, selectors still play tracks from this riddim. Its bashment flow and strong lineup keep it popular in dancehall sessions today.
