CLAIMS RIDDIM produced by CLAIMS RECORDS / SHOTTY SHANE PRODUCTION
Claims Overview
In 2021, selectors and fans turned to a standout dancehall collection that truly reflected the year’s energy. The Claims Riddim, produced by CLAIMS RECORDS / SHOTTY SHANE PRODUCTION, became a defining sound in dancehall. This label, known for its consistent output and connection to the Jamaican street scene, brought together some of the most talked-about artists of the moment. Skillibeng x Tommy Lee joined forces on "Bin Laden," delivering a gritty track that matched the year’s mood. Skillibeng had already made waves with "Crocodile Teeth," a song that gained international attention and was even remixed by Nicki Minaj. Tommy Lee, a key figure in the Gothic Dancehall movement, added his signature style to the collaboration, making "Bin Laden" a highlight. Intence, another rising star, contributed "Money Nuff Funds." Intence’s quick rise in dancehall is marked by hits like "Yeng" and his strong online presence, which helped him connect with younger fans. His track on the riddim carried his usual sharp delivery. Veteran Elephant Man brought his energy to "Italian Badness." Known for classics like "Pon De River Pon De Bank," Elephant Man’s presence added a sense of legacy to the collection. Darmain Stiile’s "Wet Like Wata" and Strait E’s "Bar Hop" rounded out the riddim with fresh voices and catchy hooks. Looking back, this selector’s choice captured the spirit of 2021 dancehall—bold, diverse, and ready for the dance.
