The Hug Overview
In the year 2000, the bashment flow was the heartbeat of dancehall music. This style was heavy in the clubs and on the radio, with selectors choosing the hottest riddims for every party. The Hug Riddim was one of those key releases, produced by TUFF GONG. TUFF GONG, founded by reggae legend Bob Marley, is known around the world for its deep roots in Jamaican music and its famous record label. The Hug Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most respected voices. Admiral Tibet, known for his conscious lyrics, delivered "Everything A Woman," showing the strength of his message. Chaka Demus, who is also famous for his hit "Murder She Wrote" with Pliers, came strong with "Big Bad And Bold."
