Virgin Overview

In 2001, dancehall music was full of energy and excitement, with riddims made for the dance floor. The Virgin Riddim fit right into this moment. Its club-ready sound made it a favorite for selectors and dancers, giving parties a real spark. Behind the scenes, JOHN SHOP RECORDS was the driving force. The label is known for producing dancehall tracks that capture the spirit of Jamaica’s music scene. Over the years, JOHN SHOP RECORDS has built a name for itself with a series of influential riddims and has worked with many respected artists. The Virgin Riddim brought together three strong voices. John Shop led with the track “Virgin Riddim,” showing off the label’s signature style. Sean Paul followed with “Guns No More,” adding his distinctive flow. By 2001, Sean Paul was already making waves; he would soon become an international star with his album “Dutty Rock,” which earned him a Grammy Award. Zumjay rounded out the lineup with “Hotter Than You,” bringing his own energy and edge to the project. Each artist used the riddim’s melodic progression to deliver memorable performances. The Virgin Riddim is a classic example of early 2000s dancehall—catchy, bold, and made for the dance. Its impact is still felt in the scene today.
