Spring Water Riddim – Stone Cold

SPRING WATER RIDDIM produced by STONE COLD 2000

Spring Water Overview

In the year 2000, dancehall music was full of energy and new sounds. One of the big reasons was the bashment flow, a style that mixed fast lyrics and catchy rhythms. The Spring Water Riddim, made by producer STONE COLD, showed this energy perfectly. STONE COLD is known for building strong, popular dancehall beats. His work helped shape the sound of Jamaican music at that time. The bashment flow on this riddim blended dancehall with other styles like hip-hop and R&B. The beat was heavy, but you could still hear smooth melodies and harmonies. This made the songs fun for parties and easy to sing along to. Big artists came together on this project. Anthony B gave us "Nuh Like What A Gwaan," showing his powerful voice and messages. Beenie Man, who won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2001, brought his famous style to "One Two And Three." Capleton, known for his fiery lyrics, delivered "Seek Knowledge" on the riddim. Buju Banton, with his deep voice, added "Straight Forward." Arp’s "Soon" brought more vocal harmony to the mix. Each artist had a special role, bringing their own sound and energy. Together, with STONE COLD’s production, they made the bashment flow a key part of dancehall’s golden era in 2000.
