CLOSE CASKET RIDDIM 2007
Close Casket Overview
In 2007, the Close Casket Riddim made its debut in Jamaica, quickly becoming a favorite on yard playlists and dancehall sound systems. This collection is a strong example of the energetic dancehall sound of the late 2000s. The riddim features standout tracks from some of the scene’s well-known voices. Aidonia’s “Gunshot” brings his sharp delivery to the mix. Aidonia is known for his rapid-fire lyrics and has made a mark with songs like “Yeah Yeah” and “Run Road.” Bassy (T.O.K) adds “Any Bwoy,” showing the signature style that made T.O.K famous for hits like “Footprints.” Chino, who delivers “Dem Haffi Hide,” is recognized for his solo work and his connection to the Big Ship family, led by his father, Freddie McGregor. Other artists on the riddim include Flexx with “When My Gun Rise,” Future Fambo with “Dead Homies,” and Gunzallis with “Cyaah Tek.” Munga’s “Never Too Weak To Learn” and Wayne Marshall’s “War Is On” also add to the collection’s impact. Shawn Storm teams up with Vybz Kartel for “Mi Love How Yuh,” while Showkryme An Deablo bring “Belly Bus.” The bashment arrangement keeps the percussion tight and the energy high throughout. The sound and arrangement reflect the dancehall trends of 2007, making the Close Casket Riddim a classic cut for both selectors and fans.
