Retro Giggy Overview
In 2016, dancehall was alive with new sounds, but some rhythms stood out for their pure bashment energy. The Retro Giggy Riddim was one of those, filling parties with a beat that felt both classic and fresh. Its driving, infectious groove fit perfectly into the year’s dancehall scene, bringing crowds together on the dancefloor. Behind this riddim was FAT EYES, a respected name in Jamaican music.

The label, run by Bulby York and Fatta Marshall, has worked with many major artists and helped shape the sound of modern dancehall since the 1990s. Their productions are recognized for quality and for keeping the roots of the genre alive. The Retro Giggy Riddim brought together strong voices. Lukie D, known for his smooth vocals, delivered “Bye Bye Love” on the riddim. Lukie D is famous for his work with the group L.U.S.T. and for solo hits across the reggae and dancehall world. Next is Jigsy King, who brought his unique style to “Ram Goat Piss.” Jigsy King is best known for his 1990s hit “Gal a Tear Off Mi Garment,” a staple in dancehall history. The duo Tanto Metro & Devonte added their song “Love Will Make You.” They are celebrated for international hits like “Everyone Falls in Love,” which charted in several countries and helped bring dancehall to a wider audience.
