Asteroid Overview

The Asteroid Riddim came together in a small Kingston studio, where music producer NATURAL BRIDGE wanted to create a fresh bashment sound. NATURAL BRIDGE is known for bringing new energy to the dancehall scene. The label, Natural Bridge Records, has been behind several big riddims and played a part in helping young artists get noticed. By 2008, their work had millions of streams and was getting strong airplay in Jamaica and beyond. NATURAL BRIDGE’s creative direction on the Asteroid Riddim was simple: make something bouncy and hard-hitting that would set every clash night on fire. The beat was fast and heavy with classic dancehall drum patterns. It inspired four standout artists to record their tracks over it. First up was Boogs with his song "Step." Boogs’ style matched the beat’s raw energy and gave partygoers something to move to. Next came Busy Signal’s "P Tune." Busy Signal already made waves before this with his hit "Night Shift," known across the dancehall world, and he brought his sharp flow to the riddim. Konshens dropped "Winner," adding even more heat. Konshens later became famous for songs like "Gal a Bubble" and hit albums like *Mental Maintenance*, but on Asteroid Riddim, he showed why he was one to watch. Last came Vybz Kartel with "Gimi Now." Kartel is recognized worldwide as one of dancehall’s most influential voices, with massive hits like "Fever" and successful albums such as *King of the Dancehall*.
