Scream 2 Overview
In 1999, dancehall fans got a new energy boost with the Scream 2 Riddim. This beat was created by SHANGUL RECORDS, a label known for its creative approach to dancehall rhythms. SHANGUL RECORDS had already made a name for itself in the late 1990s, bringing fresh sounds to the Jamaican music scene. The recording process for Scream 2 Riddim focused on heavy bass and sharp percussion. This gave selectors something different to play at parties and sound system sessions. The beat stood out because of its driving rhythm and the way it brought artists together. The riddim became even more popular thanks to two standout tracks. Elephant Man recorded "War War," using his high-energy style to match the riddim’s intensity. Elephant Man is widely known for his hit "Pon de River Pon de Bank" and has been a key figure in dancehall since the late 1990s. Mega Sample added "Head Back," bringing his own streetwise lyrics and flow to the mix. These artists helped shape the riddim’s sound, each adding their personality to the beat. Fans heard these tracks at parties across Jamaica in 1999, and selectors enjoyed the new spark the riddim brought to their sessions. Scream 2 Riddim remains a memorable part of dancehall history, thanks to its strong production and the artists who made it come alive.
