STREET BALLADS RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2010
Street Ballads Overview
In 2010, dancehall music was full of energy and club-ready riddims. One standout from that era was the Street Ballads Riddim, produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS. This production group has worked with many names in Jamaican music, and their projects often get played at dancehall parties and on radio. The Street Ballads Riddim featured several strong tracks. Alozade, known for his distinctive voice and energetic style, brought “Make You Proud” to the project. Bugle, who later scored hits like “Rasta Party” and is respected for his thoughtful lyrics, added “Fine With Me.” G Whizz, famous for his motivational song “Life,” delivered “I’M Sailing,” another uplifting track. Konshens, who achieved international success with songs like “Bruk Off Yuh Back,” contributed “You Can Make It,” showing his positive and determined side. Laden, who first gained attention on the TV show “Rising Stars,” performed “My Enemies,” a track that fits the riddim’s modern bashment feel. Other artists on the riddim included Monster Twins & Flexx (T.O.K) with “Paper,” Shane O with “Innocent,” Sleepy Hallowtips with “Word To The Wise,” and the instrumental “Street Ballads Riddim” version. This release captured the spirit of Jamaican yard music at the time, bringing together uplifting lyrics, strong voices, and the kind of beats that kept bashment events moving all night.
