The Bug Overview
In 1999, MAD HOUSE released a dancehall riddim called The Bug Riddim. This project was produced by Dave Kelly, who is known for shaping the sound of modern dancehall. MAD HOUSE, his label, has released several influential riddims over the years, including Showtime and Joy Ride, making a big mark on the Jamaican music scene. The Bug Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s top names. Alias delivered “We Nah Give A Damn,” giving the riddim a strong, defiant edge. Baby Cham, who later gained international attention with “Ghetto Story,” added his track “Ghetto Pledge.” Baby Sham contributed with “Big Up Jamaica,” showing love for his home country. Beenie Man, already famous for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” performed “Haters And Fools.” Bounty Killa, a key figure in dancehall with songs like “Look Into My Eyes,” joined Baby Cham for “Another Level,” and also appeared solo with “Look Into My Eyes.” Each artist brought their unique style, helping to shape the riddim’s street anthem sound. The recording process at MAD HOUSE was known for its focus on raw energy and tight production. The Bug Riddim quickly became a favorite in 1999’s bashment scene, standing out at dances and clashes.
