The Sherrif Overview

In 1999, dancehall music was full of energy and new ideas. The bashment flow, known for its fast and lively style, was a big part of this sound. On this compilation, artists brought their own flavor to the riddim, mixing dancehall with hints of reggae, hip hop, and even a little R&B. This blend made the music fresh and exciting. Cojo Banton’s track, "A Nuh Every Gal," stands out with his strong delivery and catchy lyrics. Demolition Man, known for songs like "Fire," brings his unique voice to "Na Share Mi Spliff." His mix of reggae and dancehall styles is clear in his performance. Dolamite’s "Bleaching Cream" adds humor and social commentary, showing how dancehall can talk about real-life issues. El Feco’s "Miss Daisy" and Frisky Dan’s "We Nuh Drive Benz" both add to the bashment vibe with their playful lyrics and upbeat rhythms. Super Sas joins in with "More Video," keeping the energy high. The studio hand behind the riddim played a key role, carefully blending the beats so each artist could shine. The 1999 bashment flow was not just about the beat—it was about bringing people together and mixing different styles. This release is a good example of how artists and producers worked as a team to create lasting dancehall hits.
