GUN WAR RIDDIM produced by DAMION DAINJA 2016
Gun War Overview
In 2016, the bashment flow found new life through the Gun War Riddim. This project started in the heart of Jamaica’s dancehall scene, where energy and rhythm meet. The riddim architect, DAMION DAINJA, brought his signature touch to the production. Known for his work with Dainja Zone Productions, Dainja had already built a reputation for crafting beats that set parties on fire. With Gun War Riddim, he focused on raw, dancefloor-ready sounds that captured the spirit of the streets. As the riddim took shape, artists lined up to add their voices. Gage, with his track "Too Mix Up Gun," delivered sharp lyrics and a commanding presence. Gage is recognized for his breakout single "Throat," which made waves across dancehall charts. Erup, known for the 2007 hit "Click Mi Finger," returned with "Hot Steppa," adding a familiar, high-energy style that fans love. Bencil brought "Step To Dem," matching the riddim’s intensity with his own lyrical fire. The project also saw Dre Zee Ft Chavez and Chavez - Kill Dem Slow both delivering "Kill Dem Slow," each with a unique approach to the same title. Powakut’s "Contract Killa" and Anarchie ft Tatik’s "Bad Anyway," along with Tatik - Bad Anyway’s own version, rounded out the set, keeping the vibe fierce and unrelenting. From studio session to street anthem, Gun War Riddim’s bashment flow captured the true sound of 2016 dancehall. The collaboration between DAMION DAINJA and these artists made it a standout moment that listeners still remember.
