45 Riddim – King Dreamz Entertainment

45 RIDDIM produced by KING DREAMZ ENTERTAINMENT 2012

45 Overview

In 2012, dancehall was bursting with energy and fresh sounds, and the 45 Riddim selector’s mix became one of the year’s true bashment highlights. The set stood out for its heavy basslines and the way it brought together both established stars and rising voices, capturing the lively spirit of Jamaican street parties. At the heart of this project was KING DREAMZ ENTERTAINMENT, a label known for pushing vibrant dancehall productions. KING DREAMZ ENTERTAINMENT had already made a name with several street anthems, and their approach to riddim building added a unique spark to the genre. Their work on the 45 Riddim continued this tradition, showing their skill in bringing together top talent and infectious beats. Beenie Man, a Grammy-winning artist and one of dancehall’s biggest names, delivered “Wine Up Yuh Body.” His legendary status and history of international hits like “Who Am I” made his presence on the riddim a major draw. Macka Diamond, known for her empowering lyrics and hits such as “Dye Dye,” brought attitude and flair with “Not for Sale.” 3 Star’s “We No Beg” added a raw, streetwise edge, while Josey Wales, a true veteran of the dancehall scene, contributed “Party Crazy,” reminding fans of his long-standing influence since the 1980s. Turbulance, well-known for his conscious lyrics and the popular song “Notorious,” rounded out the mix with “Nah Sell Out.” Altogether, this selector’s mix on the 45 Riddim captured the excitement of 2012 dancehall, blending party vibes and heavyweight performances for a set that still gets the crowd moving.
