FUTURE STAR RIDDIM produced by CP1 RECORDS 2011
Future Star Overview
In 2011, the dancehall scene was alive with energy, especially in sound clashes where selectors aimed to thrill the crowd. The sound system cut of the Future Star Riddim became a favorite at these events. Its powerful bass and sharp drops made it perfect for the bashment parties of the time. A big part of this riddim’s success was the work of the sound engineer. The engineer shaped the sound, giving each track a crisp, vibrant feel that stood out in the dance. Every drum hit and synth line was clear, making the riddim a weapon for selectors in any clash. The producer behind this project, CP1 RECORDS, is known for pushing new talent into the spotlight. The label built a reputation in the early 2010s for releasing fresh dancehall rhythms and helping young artists break through. Their attention to sound detail and artist selection made them respected in the dancehall community. On this riddim, you hear artists like Caldhino with “Ghetto Youths,” Cp with “Nuff A Dem,” and Fresh P’s “Man A Star.” Popeye’s “Just Dance” brought a party vibe, while Smerff And Sub Zero teamed up for “Wine Up.” Each artist gave their own style, making the riddim diverse. Cp, for example, is known for his sharp lyrics and delivery, which helped “Nuff A Dem” stand out in the mix.
