Dancehall Style Overview

In 2011, the bashment rhythm brought a strong and lively energy to dancehall music. With a fast tempo and deep bass, this riddim made people want to move. It was a favorite for selectors and sound systems, filling dance floors with its catchy beat and smooth flow. Several artists helped shape this riddim’s success. Big Fris delivered “Wha Gwan,” bringing his unique style to the mix. Cali P’s “Don'T Frade” stood out, continuing his journey after his well-known debut album “Lyrical Faya” in 2008. Da Grynch added “Uncaring,” giving the riddim a thoughtful edge. Dready’s “Fly Ish” and Leah Rosier’s “Do You Like” brought more flavor and variety, showing the riddim’s wide appeal. At the center of this project was NECESSARY MAYHEM, the UK-based label and production team led by Curtis Lynch Jr. Known for their modern take on classic reggae and dancehall, NECESSARY MAYHEM has worked with artists like Tippa Irie and produced several popular riddims. Their careful production on “Dancehall Style Riddim” made it stand out in 2011, helping it become a staple in dancehall playlists that year. The combination of these artists and NECESSARY MAYHEM’s production created a bashment rhythm that was both fresh and true to dancehall roots. It kept fans coming back, making it a highlight of the year’s dancehall scene.
