THOUGHT FOR THE DAY RIDDIM produced by XTERMINATOR 2001
Thought For The Day Overview
The street anthem base of early 2000s dancehall was all about big beats and catchy hooks. In 2001, this sound was everywhere in Jamaica’s dancehalls and on street corners. The music was made for both parties and everyday listening, blending heavy bass with sharp drums. The “Thought For The Day Riddim” is a good example of this style. It was produced by XTERMINATOR, a well-known label in reggae and dancehall. XTERMINATOR was founded by producer Philip “Fatis” Burrell, who helped shape the careers of many famous Jamaican artists. The label is respected for its quality productions and for bringing a roots influence to modern dancehall. On this riddim, Anthony Mills delivers the track “Good News.” Mills is known as a versatile artist, and his work on this song stands out for its strong energy and clear vocals. Turbulence is also featured with “Its Like Heaven.” Turbulence is known for his hit song “Notorious” and for his powerful voice in conscious reggae and dancehall. These songs became part of the dancehall playlists in 2001, played at yard sessions and street parties. The combination of strong rhythms and talented artists made the “Thought For The Day Riddim” a favorite for fans and selectors during that year.
