YES BUJU RIDDIM (RAGGA DANCEHALL) – GARGAMEL MUSIC 1998
Yes Buju Overview
When the Yes Buju Riddim dropped in 1998, dancehall fans were quick to catch on. The yard beat had that raw energy everyone loved in the dancehall scene. As soon as the riddim started playing at parties and sound clashes, people moved to the heavy drums and catchy melodies. It felt fresh but kept the classic dancehall vibe. Buju Banton stood out with two big tracks: "Mumma Prem Prem" and "Yes Buju." Both songs showed off his strong voice and playful style. "Mumma Prem Prem" in particular had fans singing along, while "Yes Buju" brought even more hype to the riddim. Daddy Lizard’s "One Ting" added a smooth, catchy flow, making it easy for listeners to vibe along. Powerman’s "Anaconda" brought a different flavor, with his energetic delivery keeping the dance floor busy. Sabba Tooth stepped in with "Careless Gal," a tune that mixed humor and real talk, while The Spectacular’s "Melody" gave the riddim a sweet, sing-along moment. Other tracks like "Get Serious" by Black Mice and "Run Dem" by Buba kept the energy high. The instrumental "Version" by Yes Buju let selectors and DJs get creative in the dance. The arranger behind this bashment was known for shaping percussion-heavy riddims, making each song fit together perfectly. The release came out on the respected Digital B label, a name trusted by dancehall fans everywhere. Even today, the Yes Buju Riddim stands as a key piece of dancehall history, showing how a strong riddim and talented artists can create lasting anthems.
