GORILLA RIDDIM produced by NECESSARY MAYHEM 2011

Gorilla Overview

The yard beat is a classic sound in dancehall, known for heavy bass, strong drum patterns, and a raw energy that fuels street parties and clashes. In 2011, this style came alive again with the release of the Gorilla Riddim, produced by NECESSARY MAYHEM. The label, founded by Curtis Lynch, is known in the UK and Jamaica for its powerful dancehall and reggae productions. Gorilla Riddim features a lineup of respected artists. Askala Feat Massicker And Blackout Ja bring a strong message with "Proud To Be Ratsa - Askala 1." Bmwa adds his voice with "Over Everything," while Bramma, who is recognized for his hit "Cha Cha Bwoy," delivers the intense "Go Inna Grave." Cali P, known for his album "Lyrical Faya," contributes "Herbist Mar." Charly Black, who later gained international fame with "Party Animal," is featured with "Love Guarantee." Other tracks on the riddim include Chucki Starr’s "Locked Away Mar," Da Grynch with both "Gorrilla" and "Our Dub Mar," Franz Job’s "Whats It Gone Be Mar," and Macka B’s "Our Music Mar." Each song rides the riddim’s infectious beat, capturing the spirit of the dancehall yard. Fans still remember this 2011 drop for its vibrant energy and the way it brought together top voices in dancehall under NECESSARY MAYHEM’s production.
