CRY RIDDIM produced by 3R40 RECORDS 2021
Cry Overview
In 2021, a new dancehall riddim started bubbling up from the heart of Jamaica’s party scene. This was the Cry Riddim, created by 3R40 RECORDS. The label, known for pushing fresh bashment sounds, had already made waves with their digital releases, earning strong streaming numbers on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. With Cry Riddim, they aimed to set dance floors on fire. The story began in the studio, where 3R40 RECORDS pulled together some of the most dynamic names in dancehall. Specialist stepped in with "Deep Love," bringing his signature energy. Teeze and DonPree teamed up on "Heart Ina This," delivering a tune that selectors couldn’t resist spinning. Markkel Fletcher jumped on board with "Hypocrite," adding his own sharp flavor to the mix. The riddim kept growing. Potential Kidd, already known worldwide for his viral hit "A Yah So Nice," joined forces with Raymie Rich and Majah Bless for "Reverence," giving the riddim a true anthem. Sikka Rymes, who has worked with Vybz Kartel and built a strong following, dropped "Rock Stone," adding even more fire. The legendary Horace Andy, with his roots reggae legacy, linked up with Potential Kidd for "Where Is Love From Birth," a track that blended generations. When Cry Riddim hit the streets, it didn’t take long for the party crowd to catch on. The riddim’s unstoppable beat and commanding vocals turned it into a yard anthem. By the end of 2021, Cry Riddim was a must-play for any serious selector, and a true touchstone of dancehall culture.
