BRAND NEW OLD SCHOOL RIDDIM produced by FRESH EAR PRODUCTIONS 2022
Brand New Old School Overview
In 2022, the Brand New Old School riddim became a favorite sound for late-night parties. Dancehall fans loved how it brought together the energy of classic Jamaican music with modern touches. The riddim’s party backdrop also blended well with other genres, like hip-hop and afrobeat, making it popular in many DJ sets and playlists. Vybz Kartel brought his unique style to the riddim with the song "Which Hairstyle." Known for his hit "Fever," Kartel has been one of dancehall’s most influential voices for years. Busy Signal, who performed "Put It On," is famous for songs like "Stay So" and has worked with international artists, including Major Lazer. Elephant Man, on "You Can," added his trademark energy. He is well-known for his hit "Pon De River, Pon De Bank," which made waves on charts around the world. Delly Ranx gave the mix a smooth vibe with "Upfront Appearance." Darrio’s "Clean Lakka Whistle" added a fresh sound, helping keep the riddim lively all the way through. Each artist brought their own flavor, showing the strength of the riddim’s foundation. The producer behind the riddim, FRESH EAR PRODUCTIONS, played a key role. Founded by Arif Cooper, FRESH EAR PRODUCTIONS is known for shaping the dancehall sound and has released several successful riddims over the years. Arif Cooper’s own track, "Brand New Old School," helped tie the project together. In a year full of heavy dancehall releases, this riddim stood out, proving its power in the dance and beyond.
