DOORSLAM RIDDIM produced by BRICKWALL 2000 (GREENSLEEVES RHYTHM ALBUM #3)
Doorslam Overview
In the early 2000s, dancehall selectors shaped the sound of parties and radio. Their choices set the mood, and the right riddim could lift a whole dance. The Doorslam Riddim was one of those beats selectors loved. It brought energy and excitement, making it a favorite in dancehalls across Jamaica and beyond. The producer behind this riddim was BRICKWALL, a name known for hard-hitting, catchy rhythms. BRICKWALL worked with the Greensleeves label, which helped bring many Jamaican hits to the world. Greensleeves Rhythm Album series, including the 2000 release featuring Doorslam Riddim, became a key part of dancehall history. Alozade’s “Load Up” stands out with its raw style, while Beenie Man’s “Cool Bwoy” shows why he is called the King of Dancehall. Beenie Man is famous for his international hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” and he won a Grammy in 2001 for Best Reggae Album. Bounty Killer & Merciless join forces on “Doorslam Riddim,” bringing together two powerful voices of the era. Capleton’s “Bust It Out” adds fire, as Capleton is known for his energetic performances and conscious lyrics. Chico’s “Fleety Flighty” brings a lighter touch. This release captured the real feeling of yard music in 2000, with each artist bringing their own style to a classic dancehall beat.
