AFRICAN GOLD RIDDIM produced by HAYNES RECORDS 2017
African Gold Overview
In 2017, sound system culture was alive and well, and the African Gold Riddim was a great example of how selectors brought people together on the dancefloor. Selectors carefully chose tracks that mixed hardcore deejay styles with smooth, melodic vocals, creating energy and unity in the dance. The riddim was a favorite for selectors, who loved how it balanced heavy bass with catchy hooks, making it perfect for both hardcore fans and newcomers. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a key role. Their skillful mixing helped each artist’s voice and lyrics stand out, while keeping the riddim’s groove strong. The engineer’s work made sure every speaker in the dancehall shook with clear, powerful sound. The producer, HAYNES RECORDS, has a strong name in the dancehall community. Known for sharp production and a history of supporting new talent, the label has been behind several notable riddims. With African Gold Riddim, HAYNES RECORDS added another highlight to its catalog, earning thousands of streams and positive feedback from DJs and fans. The artists on this riddim brought their own flavor. Diamond White’s “Deh Gyal” was a standout, with his confident delivery. John P’s “Every Hustlers” spoke to the daily grind, while Juggernaut’s “Roll Out” brought pure energy. Krome Steel added a party vibe with “Party,” and Shell Dem’s “Running Away” offered a catchy, singalong chorus. Each song fit perfectly, showing the power of collaboration.
