ZIP IT UP RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES 2001
Zip It Up Overview
When the Zip It Up Riddim selector’s choice dropped in 2001, it quickly became a must-play at dancehall parties. The energy and sound stood out, even among other popular bashment projects of the early 2000s. While many riddims of that time focused on heavy bass and digital drums, Zip It Up brought a tight, clean groove that kept the dance floor moving. Beekie’s “Dung To Ground” is a real highlight, with a catchy hook and lively delivery. Delly brings a strong vibe on “Gi Mi Dem,” showing why he was a favorite on dancehall playlists. Kirk Davis & Chrome’s “The Sky” adds a melodic touch, while Monster Twins’ “Herb” brings in a classic herbalist theme loved by dancehall fans. Powerman’s “Partner Draw” is another standout. Powerman is known for his hit “Gal A Bubble,” and his performance here matches that same energy. Silver Cat’s “Caah Stop Wi” and Terry Ganzie’s “Woman Fi Get” keep the momentum going, both artists respected for their consistent work in the genre. The riddim also features “Im Free” by Uk Worries and the instrumental “Zip It Up” version, giving selectors room to mix and blend. Behind the scenes, SHOCKING VIBES shaped the sound. This label, led by Patrick Roberts, is famous for working with Beenie Man and producing several major hits in the 1990s and 2000s. Their experience shows in the crisp production and dancefloor-ready style of Zip It Up Riddim.
