AFROJAM 21 RIDDIM produced by MAXIMUM SOUND 2021
Afrojam 21 Overview
The Afrojam 21 Riddim brought a fresh energy to the dancehall scene in 2021. At the heart of the release is producer MAXIMUM SOUND, a label known for its strong influence on modern reggae and dancehall. Founded by Frenchie in the 1990s, MAXIMUM SOUND has worked with top artists and is recognized for high-quality production and a long list of dancehall hits. The riddim’s arranger crafted a party backdrop that blends hardcore dancehall rhythms with catchy hooks. The use of bold horn riffs and tight drum patterns gave the riddim a distinctive sound, making it both nostalgic and modern. The recording process focused on capturing lively performances from each artist, ensuring every vocal stood out over the driving instrumental. Busy Signal’s “Party Girl” set the tone with his signature style, bringing a high-energy vibe that’s made him a staple in dancehall. Busy Signal is known for international hits like “Stay So” and has collaborated with major acts across genres. Yaksta’s “Fete Life” added a fresh perspective, following his success with the anthem “Ambition.” Mr. Vegas, another veteran, delivered “Crystal Ball,” bringing his well-known charisma—he’s famous for songs like “Heads High,” which topped charts in the late 1990s. Badda General’s “Emoji” and The Kemist’s “Favourite Drug” each contributed to the riddim’s party atmosphere. Their unique flows and catchy hooks helped shape the bashment vibe. The selector’s mix of these tracks became a highlight in 2021, proving the riddim’s strong impact on dancehall parties and festivals.
