GANG WAR RIDDIM produced by IKATION RECORDS – 2011
Gang War Overview
When the Gang War Riddim arrived in 2011, its street anthem base quickly became a favorite in bashment sessions. The riddim’s foundation is built on heavy bass and sharp drums, but what makes it stand out is how it blends with elements from hip hop and electronic music. This fusion gives each track a fresh energy, making the riddim popular not just in dancehall circles but also in clubs. Patexx brings a fearless attitude with “No Frighten Me,” matching the riddim’s tough sound. Chase Cross, known for working closely with Mavado and for songs like “Better Days,” delivers “Gully Me Born,” which adds a raw, streetwise feel. Cubanis uses the beat’s intensity for “When The 16 Rise,” while Suhverto’s “Gal A Seh Addi Best” brings a catchy hook that rides smoothly over the rhythm. Delus, who is remembered for his hit “What Tomorrow May Bring,” adds emotion to “You Feel Like.” Hype Don’s “Still A Wonder” keeps the energy high, and the trio of Pistal, Venomus, and Dapz on “Cross My Path” show how the riddim works well for group performances. Khalij’s “Jah Send Me” brings a roots message, showing the riddim’s versatility. The producer, IKATION RECORDS, is known for crafting dancehall beats that get noticed. Their work on this riddim helped it become a highlight of 2011. The “Gang War Riddim Version” closes the set, letting the instrumental shine. This release shows how strong production and talented artists can push dancehall forward.
