MILITARY DANCEHALL RIDDIM VOL. 1 – SOUND LION RECORDS 2023
Military Dancehall Overview
The bashment rhythm that defined 2023 started in a busy Kingston studio, where energy and ideas ran high. The riddim creator wanted to break away from the year’s usual dancehall sounds, choosing instead to focus on deep grooves and a driving, club-friendly beat. The goal was to create something that would stand out in both the streets and dancehalls, capturing the rebellious mood of the time. Each artist brought their own style to the project. Wan Row delivered “Progressive Movement,” adding sharp lyrics and a commanding presence. Wan Row is known for his ability to bring strong messages to the dancehall scene, and this track was no exception. Mula Palmer’s “Crime Scene” added intensity, with a performance that matched the riddim’s bold energy. Mula Palmer has built a reputation for his raw delivery and streetwise lyrics. Lypstick Gh offered “Born With It,” a track filled with confidence and catchy hooks. Lypstick Gh stands out for her unique voice and has been recognized for pushing boundaries in dancehall. Omar Khalifina’s “Born Bhad” continued the theme of defiance, while Iamgariba’s “Munganso” brought a different flavor, adding variety to the riddim’s lineup. Together, these songs made the bashment rhythm a landmark release. The riddim’s sound and the artists’ performances captured the restless spirit of 2023, making it a favorite for both casual listeners and die-hard dancehall fans. Looking back, it’s clear the bashment rhythm became a true symbol of its time.
