Dark Hour Riddim – Ricko Berry Productions

DARK HOUR RIDDIM produced by RICKO BERRY PRODUCTIONS / TEAM UPGRADE PRODUCTIONS 2019

Dark Hour Overview

In 2019, dancehall was going through big changes. Producers were mixing old-school vibes with fresh sounds. That year, a new riddim dropped with a heavy street anthem base. This bassline was everywhere—blasting from club speakers, car radios, and street parties across Jamaica. It was the kind of sound that made people stop and listen. The riddim came from RICKO BERRY PRODUCTIONS / TEAM UPGRADE PRODUCTIONS, a team known for pushing dancehall forward. Ricko Berry’s crew had already built a name with sharp, modern beats and a knack for picking the right artists. Their work has earned them respect in the dancehall scene, and their projects often get heavy rotation both on the island and abroad. On this riddim, Jhamar’s “Money Bag” stood out. Fans know Jhamar for his catchy hooks and real-life lyrics. Susboss came strong with “Stocks,” bringing his own style and energy. Danieko dropped “Wahmm To Yuh,” showing his rising talent. Orain Irie’s “Ghetto Yute Wah Rich” was another highlight, speaking to the dreams of youths everywhere. Audio Maxx added “Loan Shot,” giving the riddim another layer of grit. Each artist brought something different, but they all fit the riddim’s hard-hitting style. Selectors loved it. Even years later, you still hear these tracks in the dance. This 2019 project didn’t just fit its time—it helped shape the sound of modern dancehall, and its street anthem base is still a favorite today.
