CHOPPA RIDDIM produced by NEXT GENA MUSIQ 2021
Choppa Overview
In 2021, the bashment rhythm made a strong mark on the dancehall scene. This style stood out for its bold energy and deep bass, capturing the rebellious spirit of the time. Among many selector’s mixes released that year, this one brought something fresh and powerful. While other mixes often focused on catchy hooks or fast-paced beats, this bashment rhythm leaned into a heavier, more melodic sound that set it apart. The artists on this mix were key to its success. AZWIN, with the track "Whole A Meds," delivered a confident performance. AZWIN is known for blending sharp lyrics with strong rhythms, and "Whole A Meds" shows off that skill. Look Out’s "Top Shella" added another layer of energy, bringing a fierce vocal style that matched the tough beat. 1dedo’s "Rapid" kept the pace lively, while 1gus, on "Work," gave the rhythm a driving, focused feel. Pinnacle X rounded out the line-up with "Choppa Riddim," adding a unique touch to the project. The producer, NEXT GENA MUSIQ, played a big role. NEXT GENA MUSIQ is known for shaping modern dancehall sounds and has worked with several rising stars in the genre. Their production style is marked by clear melodic lines and strong bass, which helped this rhythm stand out from other 2021 releases. The mix showed the strength of yard studios at the time, proving that fresh, creative music was still coming from the heart of dancehall culture.
