Voicemail Riddim – Bankeylus

VOICE MAIL RIDDIM produced by BANKYS PRODUCTION 2000

Voicemail Overview

In the year 2000, a special selector’s mix took over dancehall parties across Jamaica. The mix was built on the popular Voicemail Riddim, a beat that brought people to the dancefloor and kept them moving all night. This mix first appeared in Kingston’s hottest dance spots, quickly spreading to other cities and even reaching sound systems overseas. The artists featured on this mix were some of the best in dancehall at the time. Lady Saw & Lexxus teamed up for "Call You," bringing together Lady Saw’s bold style and Lexxus’s smooth delivery. Lady Saw was already known for her hit "Sycamore Tree" and had won a Grammy Award for her later work with No Doubt. General B, famous for being part of the Monster Shack Crew, gave fans "Ha!" on this riddim, showing off his energetic flow. Kiprich Lexxus delivered "Bugging Me," while Madd Anju featuring Voice Mail got the crowd hyped with "Party." Voice Mail, with their song "Party," became known for their catchy hooks and went on to release the popular album "Hey" in 2006. Other tracks like Red Rat’s "Itsy Bitsy Teenie" and Roundhead’s "Ballers" added even more fire to the mix. Behind the scenes was BANKYS PRODUCTION, led by Paul "Banky" Giscombe. Banky is known for his work producing top riddims and helping artists break through in the early 2000s. His label helped shape the sound of dancehall during this time. For dancehall fans, the year 2000 would not be the same without this selector’s mix. Its energy, big artists, and the steady hands of BANKYS PRODUCTION made it a true classic.
