SCARECROW RIDDIM produced by VP 2161 2001
Scarecrow Overview
In the early 2000s, dancehall was bursting with new sounds, and the bashment rhythm brought a fresh, rough energy to the scene. The rhythm itself is hard-hitting and raw, built on a foundation of heavy drums and sharp, electronic textures. This gritty sound gave dancehall selectors something new to play with, making dance nights even more exciting. The bashment rhythm moves fast, with an edge that keeps the crowd moving and the vibe intense. Artists like Spragga, Ward 21, and Vybz Kartel each brought their own style to the bashment rhythm. Spragga delivered a standout performance with "Coochie Daddy," riding the rhythm’s bold beat with confidence and flair. Ward 21’s "More Pum" added another layer of energy, blending clever lyrics with the rhythm’s relentless drive. Vybz Kartel’s "Rolling" showed his skill for catchy hooks and sharp delivery, making the track a favorite for both dancehall fans and DJs. Each song matched the rhythm’s tough sound, but also stood out with its own flavor. Behind this influential release was VP, a key name in the dancehall world.
