ARCADE RIDDIM produced by WORL BLAST MUSIC / KINGDREAMZ ENT. 2017
Arcade Overview
When the Arcade Riddim dropped in 2017, DJs across Jamaica picked it up right away. This riddim brought a fresh sound to dancehall, mixing classic vibes with new influences. You could hear hints of hip hop and even a little electronic music in the beat. This blend made it easy for DJs to play the riddim at any party, and the crowd always responded. Each artist brought their own style to the project. Anarchie’s “Gyallis In The Streets” stood out with its catchy hook and clever lyrics. Worl Blast delivered “Do Di Do,” showing his energetic flow. Arcade gave the riddim its name and added strong party energy with “Arcade Riddim.” Beenie Man, known worldwide for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” joined in with “Patti Pat Pat,” bringing his signature dancehall style. Famous Twenty added two tracks: “Party Whole Week” and “Gyal Dem Want,” both full of fun, upbeat vibes. The riddim did not stop there. General B’s “Deaf Mi,” Harry Toddler’s “Who See Dem,” and Ikon Feat. Skee’s “Weh Di Snow Deh” (plus Skee’s solo version) all added new flavors. Each song fit the riddim but showed off the artist’s own voice. Behind the scenes, WORL BLAST MUSIC / KINGDREAMZ ENT. shaped the riddim’s sound. As a respected producer and label, they are known for bringing together top artists and creating tracks that get heavy play in dancehall sessions. Looking back, Arcade Riddim helped keep dancehall strong in 2017.
