Typhoid Overview
In 1999, a new dancehall riddim emerged that quickly became the heartbeat of parties across Jamaica. Behind the boards at the studio was a skilled craftsman, carefully shaping each note and beat. The riddim’s journey began in the creative space of Stone Love Records, a legendary name in dancehall since the late 1970s. Known for their powerful sound system and influential productions, Stone Love Records once again showed their knack for bringing artists together and crafting songs that connect with the streets. As the riddim took shape, it became a canvas for some of dancehall’s sharpest voices. Bobby Crystal brought smooth energy to “What You Want,” while Cosby’s “Chit Chat” added a catchy, playful vibe. Holloway’s “Maria” delivered a heartfelt melody that stood out on the compilation. The collaboration between Kiprich & Elephant Man on “Funny Man” brought humor and high energy, making it a favorite on the dancefloor. Military Man’s “Ready Fi Get Tag” added a streetwise edge, while Shadrock’s “A Nuh Nutten Dat” kept the momentum rolling. Vybz Kartel’s “Injustice” gave listeners a taste of his lyrical style that would soon dominate the genre. From the moment this riddim was released, DJs embraced it, spinning its tracks at every event and dance. The Typhoid Riddim’s infectious groove and diverse lineup turned it into a staple backdrop for celebrations, big and small.
