CENTER FORWARD RIDDIM produced by DJ FRASS RECORDS 2013
Center Forward Overview
In the early 2010s, dancehall sound systems were at the heart of Jamaican street parties. The right riddim could turn any gathering into a celebration, and the Center Forward Riddim was one of those special cuts. When selectors dropped this riddim, the crowd knew it was time to move. Its energetic beat and catchy hooks made it a favorite for both partygoers and DJs. The riddim was built by DJ FRASS RECORDS, a label led by DJ Frass, who is well known for shaping modern dancehall. DJ Frass has produced some of the genre’s biggest hits, working with top artists and helping bring dancehall to international audiences. His productions are known for their clean sound and strong rhythms, and Center Forward Riddim is a good example of his style. This riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most exciting voices. Katrina’s “Bad Gal” was a standout track, with her confident delivery catching the attention of many. Assassin’s “Get Mad” added raw energy, showing why he is respected in the scene. Cecile’s “Regular” brought her unique vibe, smooth and bold at the same time. Chase Cross gave us “Dem A Pree,” a tune that spoke to the realities of street life, while Chris Martin’s “Single Ladies” added a touch of melody and romance. Other artists like Demarco with “Owna Don,” Flexxx with “Naaana,” Flippa Mafia’s “Season To Season,” G Star’s “Prosperity,” and Mad Cobra’s “Dah Sumn Deh” all contributed to the riddim’s success. Each song brought its own flavor, making the Center Forward Riddim a true dancehall classic. Even today, fans remember how it ruled the dances and brought people together.
