SAVAGE RIDDIM produced by SUN CYCLE 2001
Savage Overview
In the early 2000s, sound system culture was alive in Jamaica’s dancehall scene. The Savage Riddim set captured this energy, bringing together artists and DJs for a true bashment experience. Sound systems would string up giant speakers, and the crowd waited for the next big riddim to drop. Savage Riddim was one of those beats that made everyone move. The creative mind behind this riddim was SUN CYCLE, a producer known for shaping dancehall’s sound at the time. SUN CYCLE worked with several labels and helped push the boundaries of digital dancehall. His production style was tight, with hard-hitting drums and catchy melodies that DJs loved to play. On this riddim, each artist brought a unique flavor. Kiprich delivered “I Call,” showing off his lyrical skill. Kiprich is known for his sharp wit and hits like “Telephone Ting.” Lukie D’s “Free Your Mind” added smooth vocals. Lukie D is famous for his work with the group L.U.S.T and his solo tracks that blend reggae and R&B. Goofy & Singing Melody joined forces for “If You Like It.” Goofy, also known as Mr. G, is respected for his fun, energetic delivery, while Singing Melody is known for his soulful voice and the hit album “They Call Me Mr. Melody.” Naff Skrilla & Dolamite brought street vibes with “Thug Life,” adding a tougher edge to the mix. Savage Riddim stood out among the heavy bashment riddims of 2000.
