STONE RIDDIM produced by JAZZY CREATIONS 1997
Stone Overview
In 1997, the Stone Riddim became a favorite in dancehall circles, especially at bashment parties. The sound system cut of this riddim was a true highlight at events. Sound system culture in Jamaica is all about big speakers, skilled selectors, and energetic crowds. The version track, simply called Version, was played by selectors to keep the energy high between vocal performances. This allowed DJs to toast and interact with the crowd, making each dance feel special. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a key role. Their job was to make sure the riddim sounded crisp and powerful on massive sound systems. Good engineering meant the basslines hit hard and the vocals stayed clear, no matter how loud the speakers were. Producer JAZZY CREATIONS led the project. Known for shaping party-ready dancehall riddims, JAZZY CREATIONS has worked on several underground hits and is respected for keeping the dancefloor moving. The label behind Stone Riddim also helped push the sound into local and international dances. The artists on Stone Riddim each brought their own style. Bosie D’s Sweet stood out with catchy hooks. Gumtion’s Drive added a fresh flow, while Old D’s Wah Happen captured the street energy of the late ‘90s. Robo Cop delivered Half Coolie, and Scrooge’s Stone & Brush rounded out the lineup. Each song helped make Stone Riddim a classic moment in dancehall sound system culture.
