Willi Williams's Studio One roots record for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, cut on the "Real Rock" rhythm (recorded 1977, issued 1979) and famously covered by The Clash - a vivid case of a Studio One riddim reaching global rock audiences.

From Beyoncé's debut solo album Dangerously in Love (2003), on Columbia, directed by Jake Nava. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there nine weeks, making Sean Paul's voice, on a riddim-inflected hook, part of the biggest pop record of its year.

"Bam Bam" is Sister Nancy's 1982 song, produced by Winston Riley for his Techniques label over the Stalag riddim (built from Ansel Collins's 1974 "Stalag 17"); it is now regarded as one of the most sampled reggae recordings in hip-hop history.

Sasha wrote and recorded 'Dat Sexy Body' in 1998 on a variation of the Bookshelf riddim; the track became a sleeper hit that only reached its full chart impact roughly five years after release, and was later remixed with reggaeton artist Ivy Queen.

Elephant Man's early-2000s cuts "Egyptian Dance" and "Egyptian (Version)" rode producer Don Corleon's Egyptian riddim, part of a run of uptempo, horn-sampling rhythms that made Corleon one of dancehall's most in-demand producers of the 2000s.

"Footprints" by T.O.K. is a mid-2000s vocal cut on the Drop Leaf riddim, often cited in the one-drop/dancehall crossover moment when harmony groups, roots themes and polished rhythm production overlapped.

"Get Busy" by Sean Paul is the Diwali riddim's biggest international breakthrough, a dancehall single whose Billboard success made Lenky's rhythm and Jamaican deejay delivery part of early-2000s global pop radio.

Beenie Man's "Gotta Be Mine" voiced producer Tony Kelly's 2001 Buy Out riddim, one of the era's most-versioned dancehall rhythms, also carrying cuts from Sean Paul and T.O.K.

Sizzla's cut on the 2001-2002 Martial Arts riddim from Kings of Kings Records was among the biggest tunes on a rhythm that also carried Capleton's "Badness" and Bounty Killer, Wayne Marshall and Richie Stephens's "Ladies Loving Fine," issued on Greensleeves' Rhythm Album series.

The 2008 record that put both men on the same track at the height of the rivalry, over a hard digital riddim. Unusually for the feud, it is a duet rather than an exchange of separate answers, and it became the shorthand title people use for the whole Gully-Gaza episode. Discography details and the riddim credit need verification against the label pressing.

Slim Smith's 1967 Studio One rocksteady single for Coxsone Dodd is widely cited by riddim historians as the horn-and-bassline source for one of Jamaican music's most versioned rhythms, later renamed for dancehall audiences after Lone Ranger's "The Answer" rode the same track.

The Studio One recording for Coxsone Dodd that is the original cut of the rhythm later known as the Answer riddim — a heavy bassline under a horn figure, with Slim Smith singing over it.

"No Letting Go" by Wayne Wonder is a central Diwali riddim hit and one of early-2000s dancehall's major global crossover records, demonstrating how a single riddim could carry several charting songs at once.

Deejay Gregory Peck's 1990 cut for producers Steely and Clevie gave its name to one of the defining riddims of dancehall's turn-of-the-1990s digital era, later reworked with cuts from Cutty Ranks, Capleton and Shabba Ranks.

"Rumours," a Gregory Isaacs recording from the digital dancehall era, shows the singer adapting his romantic, roots-adjacent vocal style to the computerized riddims that had come to dominate Jamaican production by the late 1980s.
