Boom Overview
In Jamaica, the yard beat is the heart of dancehall music. It is the rhythm you hear at street parties, in clubs, and from passing cars. In 2013, a special riddim called Boom Riddim echoed through the island, bringing people together on the dancefloor. This riddim was created by HEAD CONCUSSION, a producer known for shaping the modern dancehall sound. HEAD CONCUSSION, led by Rvssian, has produced many hits and is respected for pushing dancehall into new directions. The label’s work has reached millions of listeners worldwide, showing the power of Jamaican music. The bashment arranger behind Boom Riddim gave the tracks a lively, party-ready energy. This made the riddim perfect for bashment sessions, where the crowd wants to dance and feel the beat. Each artist brought their own style to the project. Beenie Man, the “King of Dancehall,” showed his skill in “Collect Money,” with lyrics that connect to everyday life. Briggy Benz kept it true with “Keep It Real,” while Baby Cham’s “Sell Out” added a sharp edge. Chan Dizzy’s “Da Wait Deh” and Elephant Man’s “Bad Man” brought more fire to the riddim. Other artists like Hollow Point with “Mi Bad,” Juss Ice with “45,” Lexx on “Trimble Up,” Renzo with “Burn It Up,” and Miss O’s “Money Pull Up” added their voices, making Boom Riddim a true dancehall showcase. This yard beat still stands strong in dancehall history. It reminds fans of the power of a good riddim and the unity it brings to the culture.
