    RUMOURS RIDDIM / TELEPHONE LOVE RIDDIM produced by MUSIC WORKS 1988

    Rumours Overview

    In the world of dancehall, sound system culture is all about the beat, the energy, and the voices that ride the riddim. One of the most important riddims to come from this scene is the Rumours Riddim, produced by the legendary label MUSIC WORKS. MUSIC WORKS, led by producer Augustus “Gussie” Clarke, played a big role in shaping modern dancehall during the 1980s and 1990s. The label is known for pushing digital reggae forward, and its productions have racked up millions of streams and influenced artists worldwide. The Rumours Riddim is a classic dancehall rhythm—bouncy, catchy, and perfect for sound system clashes. It gave many new artists their first big break and let established voices shine in a new style. The beat itself is tight, with crisp drums and a rolling bassline, making it easy for DJs to keep the dance moving. On this set, Dean Fraser brings his saxophone magic to “Snacking,” adding a smooth vibe. Hopeton Lindo’s “Lonely Night” tells a story of longing, while Jc Lodge’s “Telephone Love” is a sweet anthem about connection. Josey Wales keeps it real with “Single Life,” and Ken Boothe delivers soul on “Choice.” Lady G stands strong with “Nuff Respect,” and Shabba Ranks teams up with Admiral Tibett for “Tell Me Which One.” Mighty Diamonds carry weight on “Heavy Load,” and Shabba Ranks joins Jc Lodge for “? Deh Pon Mi Mind.” Admiral Tibbett also brings his voice to “Tell Me Which One.” This set is still loved in dancehall today. It shows how important riddims and sound system culture are for bringing artists together and making history.
