UNDER PRESSURE RIDDIM (ZIM DANCEHALL) – ROCKERS MIX & DR ZED 2014
Under Pressure Overview
The Under Pressure Riddim arrived in 2014, quickly making waves in the dancehall scene. Produced in Jamaica, this bashment project brought together a strong line-up of artists and became a favorite among selectors, especially for its energy on the dancefloor. Azon stands out on this riddim with the track "6 And 9," delivering a performance that shows why he is respected in dancehall circles. Acxian And Yung Chris team up for "Mafaro Chete," a song that highlights their chemistry and lyrical skills. Yung Chris is known for his earlier work with the group MMT, which helped him gain attention beyond his home country. Ras Bullet brings a different vibe with "Swedera Padhuze," while Sophos adds his unique style to "Kababy Kangu." Sound Ranger, a name closely linked to the bashment movement, appears twice on the project with "Hauchandida" and "Keeping It Gangsta." Sound Ranger’s consistent output over the years has made him a regular feature in dancehall mixes. Other notable tracks include "Mushika Mushika" by Distinction, "Kundiroodza" by Mabhururu, "Razaro" by Artaz, and "Ready Fi Dem" by Terminator. Each artist brings their own flavor, making the riddim diverse but cohesive. The production was steered by a skilled studio hand, but details about the producer are not widely publicized. The riddim’s crisp sound and hard-hitting beats have kept it in rotation, and selectors still play tracks from this project in 2020 and beyond. The Under Pressure Riddim remains a true bashment staple.
