CENTIPEDE RIDDIM produced by SHINES PRODUCTION 2023
Centipede Overview
Centipede Riddim arrived in 2023 and quickly became a favorite in dancehall parties. The riddim gave several new artists their first big chance in the scene. It stood out for its lively party sound, but also for how it mixed dancehall with touches of other genres like hip hop and afrobeat. This blend made it popular with a wider crowd, not just hardcore dancehall fans. Earthworm made waves with "Smoking Everyday," a track that showcased his unique style. His delivery brought energy to the riddim and helped him gain attention beyond Jamaica. Immperial Alley Cat’s "Wine for the Money" was another highlight, with a catchy hook that became popular in Caribbean clubs. Thugsy Malone’s "Muss Get Gal" added humor and street flavor, showing why he’s been recognized for his clever lyrics. Lyrics Habadashweh’s "Slap It Up" and Soul Skelly’s "Top Shatta" both brought their own twist to the project. Soul Skelly, already known for his work on the "Top Shatta" mixtape, used this riddim to reach new listeners. Each artist brought a different vibe, but together they created a strong, unified sound. The sound engineer played a big part, making sure each track sounded crisp and powerful on big speakers. SHINES PRODUCTION, the producer behind the riddim, is respected for working with both new and established artists across Jamaica. Their experience helped Centipede Riddim stay relevant. Even years later, selectors still play tracks from this release, proving its lasting impact on dancehall music.
