Gwaan Hype Overview

In 2003, a new dancehall riddim dropped in Jamaica and quickly made its way into clubs and street parties. This was the Gwaan Hype Riddim, a project that captured the energy of the time and became a favorite for selectors across the island. The riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most respected voices. Beenie Man gave fans "Shout It Out," a track full of his signature energy and clever wordplay. Escobar added his own flavor with "The Truth," while Frankie Paul, known for his smooth vocals, delivered "Wild Thing." Jah Mason contributed "Comfort My Soul," bringing a conscious vibe, and C. Jockey showed his versatility with "Look Good Machine." There was also a strong collaboration between C. Jockey and Cecile on "Gwaan Hype," which helped define the riddim’s sound. Behind the scenes, the riddim was built by Karl-Marx F. Waite, better known as K.C Jockey. He is not just a producer but also an artist with a history of blending reggae and dancehall. The final mix was handled by Donald "Trixie" Dixon for SWEET SADIE'S PRODUCTION, a label respected for its quality releases and contribution to the genre’s growth. The Gwaan Hype Riddim also featured tracks like Kiprich’s "Smooth Sailing," Kirk Davis & Bulle’s "Bring It On," Lady Saw’s "We A Sleep Tonight," and Merciless with "Succer." Each song added a unique touch, making the riddim both versatile and memorable. Years later, the selector’s choice from 2003 remains an important part of dancehall history, still played and appreciated by fans who love the classic sound.
