Determining Overview
In 2023, the bashment scene got a big boost with a new rhythm that mixed hardcore dancehall energy with catchy, club-ready hooks. This sound, called the Determining Riddim, brought together strong beats and fresh melodies, making it a standout bashment release of the year. The rhythm was shaped by the work of NESSA B MUSIC, a producer known for creating music that brings people to the dance floor. NESSA B MUSIC has a reputation for blending traditional dancehall with modern sounds, and has worked on several popular projects in the Caribbean music scene. Their influence can be heard in the way the Determining Riddim combines bashment with hints of hip-hop and pop, making it appeal to a wide audience. Artists played a big role in giving each track its own flavor. Inkline’s “She Brawling” stands out with its raw energy and sharp delivery. Samuri, who has built a strong following with tracks like “Nuh Love Mi,” brings a smooth yet intense style to the riddim. Tremaine Hitz adds more fire with “Baddest Gyal,” showing his skill in blending melody and attitude. Courtney Undah P, known for his work on “His-Tory,” adds depth and storytelling. Dah Mastha’s “Squeeze” keeps the bashment vibe high with bold lyrics and a driving beat. Other artists like Laygus with “Just Enough” and Nessa B with “Win Again” also contribute to the overall groove. The bashment arranger’s work ties these songs together, making the rhythm flow smoothly from one track to the next. The Determining Riddim stands as a strong example of how bashment can blend with other genres, keeping the dancehall spirit alive and fresh.
