The Worm Overview

In 1998, the Worm Riddim made a strong mark on the dancehall scene with its club-ready sound and street energy. The riddim quickly became popular at parties and sound system events, offering a fresh bashment style that fit perfectly with the era’s dancehall movement. Several well-known artists voiced tracks on this riddim. Anthony Redrose, a respected figure in dancehall since the 1980s, delivered “Bombshell.” He also teamed up with Future Troubles for a version called “Bombshell,” bringing extra energy to the release. Future Troubles, known for his 1997 hit “Mi Nah Vote,” also appeared with his own “Bombshell – Bombshell,” adding to the riddim’s impact. Ce'Cile, who later gained international attention with songs like “Can You Do the Work” featuring Sean Paul, contributed “I Wanna Be Tha One.” Degree, famous for tracks like “Traffic Blocking,” added “Honey Bee.” Delly Ranks, Ini Kamoze, Natural Black, Powerman, and Richie Stephens also gave strong performances with songs like “Mouth Bad Bwoy,” “Kingstock,” “Link Up,” “Nah Get Weak,” and “A Little Bit of Love.” The riddim was produced by HOTTIS, a name known in the Jamaican music industry for creative and energetic productions. HOTTIS helped shape the sound of late-1990s dancehall with releases like this, which are still played by selectors today. The Worm Riddim stands out as one of 1998’s bashment highlights, capturing the raw spirit of street dancehall and giving fans tracks that remain favorites on the dancefloor.
