Death Row Riddim – Chimney Records 2009
Death Row Overview
The 2009 bashment release built its reputation by mixing hardcore deejay tracks with smooth vocal styles. The release stands out for its strong line-up, featuring Flexxx with “Ask Fi War,” Star with “Buss Inna Face,” and Mad Cobra with “Dash Weh.” Each track brings a different energy, but they all ride the same infectious riddim. Flexxx, known for his raw delivery, brings intensity to “Ask Fi War.” His style fits perfectly with the beat, giving the track a streetwise edge. Star’s “Buss Inna Face” offers a catchy hook and a confident flow, adding a melodic touch to the project. Mad Cobra’s “Dash Weh” is another highlight. Mad Cobra is a veteran in dancehall, famous for his 1992 hit “Flex,” which reached the top of the US Rap charts and made the Billboard Hot 100. His experience shines through on “Dash Weh,” where his commanding voice and seasoned performance stand out. The riddim’s production is tight and rhythmic, blending classic dancehall elements with a modern touch. The beat is lively, with a deep bassline and sharp snares that keep the energy high. The sound is built for the dancefloor, inviting both deejays and singers to add their own flavor. Even years after its release, selectors still play this bashment riddim in their sets. Its mix of tough lyrics and smooth vocals, all held together by a solid rhythm, keeps it fresh in the dancehall scene. The 2009 release remains a favorite for fans and DJs alike.
