CODEINE RIDDIM produced by UIM RECORDS 2018
Codeine Overview
In 2018, dancehall music was going through a new wave. Producers were mixing traditional Jamaican sounds with modern influences. One of the most influential projects from that year was the Codeine Riddim, crafted by UIM RECORDS. This label, founded by producer Anju Blaxx, is known for shaping the sound of dancehall and working with many top artists. UIM RECORDS has released several big riddims, and their work often gets millions of streams online. Codeine Riddim stood out because it brought a fresh, energetic vibe to the dancehall scene. The project gathered some of the genre’s most talented voices. Alaine delivered “Not One,” adding her smooth, soulful touch. Blak Diamon’s “Feelings” brought strong emotion and catchy hooks, making it a favorite at parties. Bugle’s “Unstable” showed his lyrical skills and deep messages, while Drastic’s “Spend The Night” gave the riddim a playful, romantic side. Gyptian, famous for his international hit “Hold Yuh,” contributed “Best Thing,” keeping his signature melodic style. Other tracks also added to the riddim’s impact. Ioctane’s “In The Streets” captured real-life struggles, and Lauren Luna’s “Change Your Life” offered a positive message. Urbann’s “The Truth” and Qraig’s “Addictive” kept the dancefloor energy high. The riddim itself, “Codeine Riddim” by Anju Blaxx & Kadeem Uim, tied everything together with its modern, drill-inspired beat. This selector’s choice helped define dancehall’s direction in 2018 and remains a key moment in the genre’s history.
