Smoke The Herb The 2nd Pound – Various High Grades Overview

The bashment rhythm behind "Smoke The Herb The 2nd Pound – Various High Grades" came together in a Kingston studio in 1998. The studio craftsman wanted a sound that was both classic and fresh, using heavy percussion to keep the energy high. The riddim was built for collaboration, so each artist could bring their own style to the project. Anthony B stands out with "Low Di Herb," showing the same strong voice that made his album "Universal Struggle" a favorite in reggae circles. Buccaneer adds his unique flair on "Ganja Man," mixing dancehall vibes with his signature pirate-themed delivery. Buju Banton’s "Legalize It" is another highlight. Buju is known worldwide, especially for his Grammy-winning album "Before the Dawn," and his powerful voice shines on this track. Bushman joins with "Cannabis," bringing his roots reggae style and smooth vocals. Jacob Miller’s "Tired Fi Lick Weed Ina Bush" is a classic. Miller was the lead singer for Inner Circle and is remembered for his joyful energy and hits like "Tenement Yard." Together, these artists made the riddim a favorite at late-night parties. Each song is different, but the percussion and bass tie everything together, making it a true celebration of dancehall culture. Even in 2020, dancehall selectors still rate this bashment project as a must-play. The riddim’s energy and the artists’ performances keep it popular on sound systems and at parties worldwide.
