Virgin Island Riddim – Kings Of Kings X Top Nail X Priceless 1996
Virgin Island Overview
In 1996, the Virgin Island Riddim became a key part of dancehall sound system culture. Sound systems across Jamaica and beyond played this bashment set at dances, helping to shape the year’s dancehall sessions. The riddim’s energy and fresh style made it a favorite for selectors and DJs. Behind the scenes, the studio hand worked hard to bring out the best in every track. They made sure the riddim’s beat was tight and the vocals clear, so each artist could shine on the sound system. The producer, if known, would have guided the recording process and helped the artists find the right vibe for the dance. The release features several standout artists. Baby Wayne delivers “Weed Not Coke,” adding his unique voice to the riddim. Bounty Killer, known for his hit “Look,” brings his powerful style to “Virgin Island.” Captain Barkey’s “Clean Arm Dance” keeps the crowd moving with catchy lyrics. Determine appears twice with “Burn Up Pt.2” and “Burn Up,” showing his versatility. Frankie Sly, who later scored with “Six Foot Six,” gives us “Yard Man.” Other artists on the riddim include Frisco Kid with “Wey Dem A Try,” General B’s “The Gripper,” Grindsman’s “Brand New Tune,” and Junior Cat’s “Chronic Meditation.” DJs and sound systems continue to keep this 1996 bashment release alive, playing these tracks for new generations of dancehall fans.
