BIPOLAR RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012
Bipolar Overview
In 2012, the bashment rhythm became a big part of dancehall sound system culture. This style brought loud, energetic beats to parties and street dances across Jamaica and beyond. The raw energy of the bashment rhythm made it a favorite for selectors and deejays who wanted to keep crowds moving. Sound systems would often compete to play the hottest new riddims, and this one always got a strong reaction. Behind the mixing board, the producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS played an important role. VARIOUS ARTISTS is a project name used for collections of different singers and deejays on one riddim, often released by labels like 21st Hapilos or Zojak Worldwide. These compilations have helped push dancehall music to more listeners through digital platforms, and some have gained thousands of streams online. The bashment rhythm featured a line-up of standout performers. Patexxx delivered "So High," a track with catchy hooks and high energy. Camar brought his unique style to "Area Code Global," showing why he’s respected in the dancehall scene. Baby Chris, known for his earlier hit "Ring Ding," added "Why" to the mix, giving fans another reason to listen. Richie Loops, who had success with "My Cup," appeared with "Wont Break Your Heart." Lisa Hyper, once part of Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire, brought "Booty Clap" with her bold, confident delivery.
