THONG RIDDIM produced by TOPAZ RECORDS 2001
Thong Overview
In 2001, dancehall was full of energy and club-ready riddims. Thong Riddim fit perfectly into the year’s bashment sound, with its pulsing beat made for late-night parties and sound clashes. Its infectious groove made it a favorite in clubs and among selectors. The riddim’s lively arrangement comes from a bashment style that was popular in the early 2000s. This approach, marked by bold drum patterns and catchy hooks, helped Thong Riddim stand out. TOPAZ RECORDS, the producer behind this project, is known for spotlighting new talent and fresh sounds in dancehall. Over the years, the label has released several influential riddims and helped launch the careers of many artists. The compilation features Daddy Boastin with “Ridin West,” a track that shows his unique voice and confident delivery. Flimpoman’s “Mi Found Out” brings another layer of energy, adding to the riddim’s dancefloor appeal. Michael Knight’s “Boom Boom Sound” is packed with charisma, and he is also known for his work on other popular dancehall singles. Pussycat Feat Wiz and Wiz - Love Machine both appear with “Love Machine,” a song that blends catchy melodies with the riddim’s driving beat. The instrumental “Version — Thong Riddim” rounds out the set. Fans still remember Thong Riddim for its impact on the dancehall scene in 2001.
