Two Tough Overview
In 1994, bashment flow was a key part of dancehall music. The style mixed rough, gritty beats with smooth vocals and lively energy. This sound was everywhere in Jamaica’s dancehalls and clubs, making it a favorite for both DJs and fans. The bashment flow from that era still stands out for its raw power and catchy rhythms. Behind this movement was the producer TWO TOUGH. Known for shaping dancehall’s street sound, TWO TOUGH built a reputation through his label, Two Tough Records, which has released several influential riddims. His work helped define the sound of mid-90s dancehall and gave many artists a platform to shine. On this riddim, Simpleton & Ian Sweetness come together for “Bad Dream.” Simpleton is well remembered for his hit “Coca Cola Bottle Shape,” which became a dancehall classic. Ian Sweetness’s smooth delivery matches Simpleton’s style, creating a memorable track. Stasha Ranks brings “Without Control,” showing off her own unique voice and presence. She was part of the wave of female artists making an impact in the genre during the 1990s. Terror Fabulous adds even more energy with “Run the Place.” Terror Fabulous is best known for his hit “Action” with Nadine Sutherland, which topped reggae charts and brought him international attention. Fans of 1994 always mention this bashment flow, as it captures the true spirit of dancehall from that year.
