Concerto Overview
The story of the Concerto Riddim begins in the heart of Kingston’s dancehall scene in 2013. STEREO KYNG RECORDS, a label known for its sharp digital sound and energetic productions, set out to create a riddim that would bring together both established and rising voices. The label had already made waves with earlier releases, but Concerto Riddim was designed to push boundaries with its blend of hardcore bashment vibes and catchy hooks. The producer behind STEREO KYNG RECORDS worked closely with each artist, building a beat that was both infectious and versatile. The riddim’s journey started in the studio, where the team experimented with different instrumental layers, searching for a groove that could unite different styles. Their efforts paid off, as the riddim quickly attracted some of dancehall’s most recognized voices. Beenie Man brought his signature energy to “Drive Me Crazy,” delivering a performance that was both playful and commanding. George Nooks added a soulful touch with “My Desire,” showing the riddim’s depth and flexibility. Kalado’s “Gyal About” gave the project a fresh edge, while Konshens kept the momentum high with “You Can Dweet.” The duo Rdx contributed “Waterfalls,” adding a party-ready anthem to the mix. Voicemail’s “Represent” rounded out the collection, highlighting the unity among the artists. When Concerto Riddim dropped, it quickly became a dancefloor favorite and a staple in DJ sets. The bashment flow captured the spirit of its time, combining hard-hitting rhythms with unforgettable hooks. Today, it stands as a key chapter in dancehall history, showing the power of collaboration and creative production.
