GHETTO CRIMINEL RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2008

Ghetto Criminel Overview

In 2008, dancehall parties were full of energy, and the bashment style was everywhere. DJs looked for tracks that could wake up the crowd, especially in the middle of a dance when they wanted to keep everyone moving and excited. The Ghetto Criminel Riddim became one of those special sounds that selectors trusted to bring new life to the party. This riddim had a sharp, streetwise feel that captured what was happening in Jamaican music at the time. The producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS brought out many influential projects in dancehall and reggae circles. Working under this name often means gathering different talents on one riddim, letting several voices ride the same beat in their own way. Some of these compilations have reached thousands of plays online and are shared widely across Caribbean communities. On Ghetto Criminel Riddim, Maglight delivered “Se Kon Sa Sa Ye,” a song that stood out for its catchy hook and bold lyrics. Cochness Feat City P teamed up on “Pa Ka Kwe,” adding another layer with their unique flow. City P - Pa Ka Kwe’s “Pa Ka Kwe” also found favor among dancers, helping set the vibe in clubs and street sessions. City P has been part of other well-received projects before, making their mark as an artist who brings fresh energy to every release. These tracks kept the bashment vibe going strong throughout 2008, with selectors spinning them again and again to keep crowds buzzing late into the night.
