Sky Dome Overview
In 1998, the Sky Dome Riddim brought a fresh sound to dancehall. This compilation mixed hardcore deejay tracks with smooth, melodic vocals. Compared to other riddim albums from the late 1990s, Sky Dome stood out for its balance between rough and sweet styles. Many other compilations of that era focused more on either tough deejay lyrics or pure lovers rock, but Sky Dome blended both. The album opens with Chester Miller’s “Babylon,” a strong vocal performance. Chester Miller is known in reggae for his roots style, and this song shows his powerful delivery. Destroy Don’s “Sweeter Than Honey” brings a classic deejay vibe, keeping the energy high. Mr X’s “Naah Gi Babylon Di Herb” adds a conscious message, a theme often found in late ‘90s dancehall. Shades Special Fx’s “Is It Love” and Shamela’s “What About Us” offer smoother, more romantic sides. Shamela is recognized for her unique voice in the dancehall scene. Special Fx returns with “Please Don’t Go,” another standout vocal track. Trebleton’s “How Things Go” continues the mix of styles, while the “Sky Dome — Instrumental” lets DJs and selectors enjoy the riddim in its purest form. Wycliffe Messam produced the Sky Dome Riddim for MJ - Mes Jam Records. Messam is known for shaping several important dancehall projects in Jamaica. The album was distributed by Dynamic Sounds, a label with a long history in reggae music. Even today, selectors and DJs play tracks from this compilation, keeping the 1998 dancehall spirit alive.
