The riddim was produced by REELISS, a Jamaican producer known for bringing a fresh yet classic touch to modern dancehall tracks. REELISS, who has worked with several rising talents in Jamaica, made sure every beat on this project had a sharp, retro feel, capturing the spirit of the genre’s golden years.
