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.
