GHETTO DREAMS RIDDIM produced by FIRESIDE 2018
Ghetto Dreams Overview
The story of the Ghetto Dreams Riddim begins in the heart of the dancehall scene in 2018. The riddim architect, FIRESIDE, was already known for his sharp production style and his work with the independent label Yard Flex. FIRESIDE’s beats had started to gain traction online, with previous tracks collecting thousands of streams, and his reputation for crafting club-ready rhythms was growing. Building the Ghetto Dreams Riddim, FIRESIDE aimed for a sound that captured the raw energy of the streets. The result was a riddim that selectors quickly picked up, thanks to its heavy bass, crisp snares, and infectious hooks. The riddim’s journey from studio to dancefloor was fast—once the first dubplates hit the sound systems, it was clear this was more than just another release. The artists brought their own fire to the project. Red Lion set things off with “Inna Di Ghetto,” a track that echoed his earlier success with “Rasta Vibes,” which had charted in the Caribbean. Chidi Okpechi teamed up with Miss Eve for “Pain Killer,” blending their unique voices for a song that became a favorite among selectors. Paradax rounded out the mix with “So Long,” adding a melodic touch that balanced the riddim’s hard edge. Together, these tracks proved the strength of yard studios in 2018. The Ghetto Dreams Riddim didn’t just fill the clubs—it showed the world that dancehall’s pulse was still beating strong, straight from the source.
