Godfather Overview

In 2008, the Godfather Riddim set the stage for dancehall DJs and fans. This compilation brought together some of Jamaica’s top artists and was produced by Don Corleon Records, a label founded by Donovan “Don Corleon” Bennett in 2002. Known for helping shape modern dancehall, Don Corleon Records has also worked on hit productions like the Seasons Riddim and Drop Leaf Riddim. On the Godfather Riddim, Elephant Man delivered “Real Godfather.” Elephant Man is famous for his energetic style and hits like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” which reached international listeners and gained him global recognition. Vybz Kartel’s song on this riddim, “Dem A No Gangster,” shows his lyrical skills. Kartel is one of dancehall’s biggest names, known for his influence on the genre and charting albums like “King of the Dancehall.” Munga voiced “Fi Free” on the compilation. He is well known in dancehall for songs like “Bad From Mi Born.” Sustain performed “Without A Cause,” adding his voice to the lineup. Wasp And Don Corleon teamed up for “Deh Deh Wid.” This track features both artist and producer working together. In 2008, sound system selectors often leaned on compilations like this to create energy before headliners took the stage. The Godfather Riddim captured different voices and styles over one beat, setting the mood for parties and dances across Jamaica and beyond. Don Corleon Records’ consistent production helped these tracks become part of dancehall’s ongoing story that year.
