Elephant Man: The Jamaican Dancehall Artist and His Riddim Hits
9 min read Riddim World Reads
A guide to Elephant Man's recent catalogue: the riddims he has voiced in 2025 and 2026, his singles, his 2025 album and how to find the right version.
Key points
- Elephant Man has 23 credits dated 2026 on Riddim World, from the WYFL Riddim to the Kiss Of Judas and Hill & Gully riddims.
- His 2025 album Dancing To The Max holds eight songs, and its title track also appears on Energy Gold Productions' Shake It To The Max Riddim.
- Several songs exist twice, as a single and as a riddim cut, so check the producer and label before you buy or play.
- Gospel remasters such as God Never Fail and Alleluya sit alongside party records, showing a wider range than his dance-hit reputation suggests.
Elephant Man is the Jamaican dancehall deejay known as the Energy God, and in 2025 and 2026 he has been one of the busiest veteran voices on the riddim circuit. His recent credits on Riddim World run from party tunes on the WYFL Riddim to gospel remasters and a full album, Dancing To The Max. This guide covers who he is in general terms, which riddims carry his newest songs, how his singles and album fit together, and the duplicate titles that trip people up when they search for his music.
Who Is Elephant Man? The Jamaican Dancehall Artist in Brief
Elephant Man came up in Kingston and first made his name in the late 1990s as part of the Scare Dem Crew, a deejay collective that brought a loud, physical energy to the dancehall stage. When he stepped out on his own, his rasping voice, flamboyant look and constant movement made him one of the most recognisable performers the genre has produced.
His nickname, the Energy God, sums up his style. He built a reputation on dance songs that call out moves and keep a crowd busy, and those records travelled well beyond Jamaica, into clubs and carnival fetes across the Caribbean diaspora. For many fans outside the island, his voice was the first sound of dancehall they could put a name to.
Like most Jamaican deejays, he works inside the riddim system. A producer builds one instrumental, then a run of artists voice their own songs over it, and the whole set is released together as a riddim. That makes his catalogue easiest to understand riddim by riddim, which is how Riddim World files it.
The more surprising part is how active he still is. Riddim World lists 23 Elephant Man credits dated 2026, plus at least 27 from 2025, covering riddim cuts, standalone singles, collaborations, remasters and an album. If you only know the old dance hits, the recent output is worth a proper listen.
Elephant Man’s Riddim Cuts in 2025 and 2026
These are the riddims where Elephant Man shares the instrumental with other artists. The producer or label tells you who built the beat, which matters when you want to hear the rest of the set.
| Song | Riddim | Producer / Label | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calling Out | My Swing Riddim | Birchill Records | 2026 |
| Inna Dirt Bed | Unmanaged Anger Riddim | DjWillyintheMix and Born In Anger Productions | 2026 |
| Gal U Body Hot | WYFL Riddim | Dj Mac Music and Crashdummy Productions | 2026 |
| Keep Me Covered | Kiss Of Judas Riddim | Billboard King Records | 2026 |
| Hold Him Gyal | Hill & Gully Riddim | Di Genius Production | 2026 |
| The Shotta Code (Remaster) | I:ROB Riddim | Misik Muzik and Billionaire Bootcamp Records | 2026 |
| The Gyal Them Anthem | Santa Jamaica Riddim | Digital One Music | 2026 |
| Gyaliss | Grandstand Riddim | John John Records | 2026 |
| Gal U Body Hot | Wyfl Riddim | Dj Mac Music and Crash Dummy | 2025 |
| Wine Up | Time Travel Riddim | Jam2 Production | 2025 |
| Nah Fall | Strength To Strength Riddim | Rumble Productions | 2025 |
| Dancing To The Max | Shake It To The Max Riddim | Energy Gold Productions | 2025 |
| Temper | Tam Tam Riddim | Warrior Sound Music | 2025 |
The standout relationship is with Dj Mac Music and the Crash Dummy team. Gal U Body Hot appears on the 2025 Wyfl Riddim and again on the 2026 WYFL Riddim album. That pairing makes sense: Dj Mac Music and Crash Dummy Production is the busiest credit on Riddim World since 2025, with 32 riddims, and another 18 filed under the Crash Dummy Productions spelling.
Beyond that camp, his 2026 cuts spread across several smaller labels. Keep Me Covered on the Kiss Of Judas Riddim comes from Billboard King Records, while Hold Him Gyal on the Hill & Gully Riddim is a Di Genius Production. For straight girls-tune energy, try Gyaliss on the Grandstand Riddim from John John Records and The Gyal Them Anthem on the Santa Jamaica Riddim from Digital One Music. In 2025, Temper on the Tam Tam Riddim linked him with Warrior Sound Music.
The Singles: Party Records, Gospel Turns and Remasters
Outside the riddim sets, Elephant Man has released a steady stream of singles. They fall into a few clear groups.
Party and Dance Singles
This is the core of his sound. In 2026 alone you get Bounce N Balance, Make It Shake, Set So, Rum Pan Di Beach, Bad Gyal and Eyelash, plus single versions of Gal U Body Hot and Hold Him Gyal. The 2025 run adds Style, Pretty Baby, New Wave, Reason Why, Say She Never and Hello Dutty Badmind. These are the tracks to reach for when the floor needs a push.
Gospel and Reflective Songs
Two 2025 remasters show another side: God Never Fail (Remastered) and Alleluya (Remastered). Nah Fall, released as a single and on the Strength To Strength Riddim, carries a similar never-give-up message, and Falling In Love (2026) moves into romance.
Remasters of Older Material
A good share of the recent output is remastered catalogue. Bring The War and Head Top, both with Chester Walker, arrived as remasters in 2026, alongside Whine Up Song (Remastered). The Shotta Code (Remaster) on the I:ROB Riddim brings the same approach to a riddim set from Misik Muzik and Billionaire Bootcamp Records.
Collaborations
The biggest name-check is Beenie Man’s For You, a 2026 posse cut that puts Elephant Man next to Snoop Dogg, D’yani, Tifa, Shaneil Muir, Vanessa Bling, Stefflon Don, Kraff and Pamputtae. He also features on EJhonni Blaz’s Good 4 Me (2025), shares Keep Me Covered with Kemar Mcgregor, and teams with Warrior Sound on the single version of Temper.
Dancing To The Max: Elephant Man’s 2025 Album
The Dancing To The Max album is the most complete statement in his recent catalogue. It gathers eight songs:
- Dancing To The Max
- God Is Good
- Turn & Twist
- Gimmi Rum
- Dancing School
- Work Out
- Party Anthem
- Yah Smaddy
The titles tell you the brief. Dancing School, Work Out and Turn & Twist are classic Energy God territory: songs built to direct a crowd. Gimmi Rum and Party Anthem lean into fete energy, while God Is Good keeps the gospel thread from his remasters running through the record.
The album also connects to the riddim catalogue. The title track appears on the Shake It To The Max Riddim from Energy Gold Productions, so you can hear the instrumental with other voices on it. Turn And Twist and Yah Smaddy were also released as standalone 2025 singles, which gives you more than one route to the same song.
If you only add one recent Elephant Man release to your crate, make it Dancing To The Max: eight songs that show the dance tunes, the party records and the faith side in one place.
Common Mistakes When You Search for Elephant Man Songs
With this many releases in two years, the same song often shows up more than once. These are the slips we see most often.
- Assuming a single and a riddim cut are the same file. Hold Him Gyal, Keep Me Covered, Nah Fall and Temper each exist as a single and as a riddim cut. The riddim version sits in a set with other artists, so check which one your DJ pool or store is selling.
- Missing spelling variants. The Gyal Dem Anthem (single, 2025) and The Gyal Them Anthem (Santa Jamaica Riddim, 2026) are spelled differently. So are Turn & Twist on the album and Turn And Twist as a single. Search both spellings.
- Confusing Wine Up with Whine Up Song. Wine Up is his 2025 cut on the Time Travel Riddim from Jam2 Production. Whine Up Song (Remastered) is a separate 2026 single.
- Ignoring the remaster tag. Bring The War, Head Top and The Shotta Code are labelled as remasters. If you want the sound of a specific release, note which version you are buying.
- Overlooking the two WYFL entries. Gal U Body Hot sits on the 2025 Wyfl Riddim and the 2026 WYFL Riddim album, with slightly different label spellings for the Crash Dummy team.
- Searching only under his name. Features such as For You and Good 4 Me are filed under the lead artist, so his name appears after theirs.
The quickest fix is the Riddim World song finder. Type any song title and it returns the riddim it was voiced on, with the producer and label, so you can tell versions apart in seconds.
