WORLD ROCK RIDDIM produced by WORLD VOICE PRODUCTION 1999
World Rock Overview
In 1999, the World Rock Riddim came alive in the studio with a fresh bashment energy. The beat was carefully built by the team at WORLD VOICE PRODUCTION, a label known for pushing dancehall forward in the late 1990s. They worked to blend the classic dancehall sound with new influences, giving the riddim a lively, modern twist. WORLD VOICE PRODUCTION had already made a name with other standout riddims and was known for supporting both established and rising artists. On this riddim, Buju Banton stands out with "Ready Body." Buju, already famous for hits like "Champion" and the Grammy-winning album "Til Shiloh," delivers his signature powerful style. ARP brings smooth vocals to "Dis Gal," adding a melodic touch that fits the riddim’s vibe. Don Yute, who later collaborated with Sean Paul on "Row Da Boat," drops "Thug Style," showing his unique flow. Kiprich gets playful on "Gal Can't Look Like You." Kiprich would go on to become known for witty lyrics and clash tunes. Fotta Flex brings streetwise energy with "Bad Boys." Each artist adds their own flavor, making the riddim a showcase for dancehall’s talent in 1999. Other voices like Malik with "Tearing Up My Heart," Rico C on "Mockie," Sess on "Umbre Marlo," and Dru Murray with "Tight" round out the project. The World Rock Riddim is a true snapshot of dancehall’s fire at the end of the century.
