Bellevue Overview

In 2006, the Bellevue Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most exciting voices. Elephant Man, known worldwide for hits like "Pon De River, Pon De Bank," delivered "Tic Tic Toc" on the riddim. Macka Diamond, a key figure in dancehall who won the International Reggae and World Music Award for Best Female DJ in 2011, added her own style with "Hula Hoop." Sanjy gave fans "Nuh Like Funny Man," while T.G And Wesley Diamond joined forces on "Pon Yuh Man." Voicemail, famous for their energetic group sound, contributed "Yuh Pickney Dem." The riddim also featured "Commandments" by Vybz Kartel and a raw instrumental called "Bellevue Riddim." Bellevue Riddim was produced by HANDS and HEART RECORDS, a label respected for bringing new energy to Jamaican music. The producer’s vision was clear: create a sound for the dance floor that would last. HANDS and HEART RECORDS had already made a mark with several strong releases in the mid-2000s, helping to shape the dancehall scene with their unique approach. The riddim itself is lively and catchy, with a bounce that made it perfect for parties and clubs. Each artist brought their own flavor, but all the tracks fit together, making the project feel like a true dancehall showcase. In a time when yard studios were proving their strength, Bellevue Riddim stood out as proof that local creativity could make a global impact. The release quickly became a favorite among DJs and fans, showing the world what Jamaican studios could do.
