Common Sense Riddim – Various Artists

COMMON SENSE RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

Common Sense Overview

In 2007, the Common Sense Riddim brought a special energy to dancehall yard sessions. The rhythm is pure dancehall—heavy bass, sharp snares, and a groove that makes you want to move. It has that classic sound, but with a modern twist that made it stand out at the time. The whole set feels lively, with each track keeping the vibe strong and the crowd engaged. Bling Dawg steps up with “Wannabe,” showing his strong delivery. He’s known for working with Bounty Killer and for songs like “Krazy.” Danger’s “Di Yute” adds a raw edge to the set, his voice cutting through the riddim. Madd Cobra, with “Gangster,” brings his signature style—he’s famous for his 1992 hit “Flex,” which topped reggae charts and made him a global name. Red Rat’s “Doing It Well” brings his playful style; many remember him for his hit “Shelly Ann.” Spragga’s “Lippin” adds a rugged flavor. Spragga Benz has had big moments too, like his feature on “Turn Me On” with Kevin Lyttle. Other tracks like “Burn Up,” “For Sale Out,” “Fyah Pon Dem,” “Gallup,” and “Make Some Money” keep the energy rolling, each with their own touch. Behind it all is VARIOUS ARTISTS, the producer who shaped the sound. Known for working with many top acts and keeping the riddim tight, VARIOUS ARTISTS made sure every song fit together. This dancehall set still brings back memories of 2007, when the riddim ruled the yard.
