SHOCKWAVE RIDDIM produced by GOOD VYBZ 2001
Shockwave Overview
In 2001, dancehall was full of energy and new sounds. The bashment rhythm stood out that year, quickly becoming a favorite at parties and dances. Its pulsing beat and catchy hooks made it impossible to ignore. If you were in a dancehall session back then, you definitely heard this rhythm shaking the speakers. The person behind this wave was producer GOOD VYBZ. Known for bringing fresh ideas to dancehall, GOOD VYBZ helped push the music forward. Working with top artists, he built a strong reputation for quality productions. His work on this rhythm made it a street anthem and gave many artists a platform to shine. On the Shockwave Riddim, Elephant Man delivered “Under Tears,” bringing his usual high energy. Elephant Man was already famous for hits like “Pon De River, Pon De Bank,” making him a big name in dancehall. Assasin’s track “Living Free” showed his lyrical skills. Assasin, also known as Agent Sasco, would later become known for songs like “Winning Right Now.” Frisco Kid’s “Code Name Fishtail” added a unique style to the mix. Wayne Marshall, with “Marshall Matrix,” brought his smooth voice and clever lyrics. Marshall is known for songs like “Overcome” and has worked with artists such as Damian Marley. Sean Paul’s “Dem A Fraud” was another highlight. Sean Paul was already making waves; his album “Dutty Rock” would soon go multi-platinum and win a Grammy. Fans still remember the bashment rhythm as a true dancehall anthem from 2001.
