HEY YO RIDDIM – 4TH GENNA X G3 MUZIK 2016
Hey Yo Overview
In 2016, the dancehall scene saw a new energy when a talented selector brought together a strong set in the studio. The creative process started with a focus on deep basslines and a catchy rhythm that could move any crowd. The beat maker wanted a sound that would stand out in parties and on the radio, aiming for a modern but authentic dancehall feel. The riddim’s direction was clear from the start: it needed to be bold and memorable. The beat was built with heavy drums and a pulsing bass, perfect for artists to add their unique voices. The producer, who remains behind the scenes, worked closely with the artists to make sure each track matched the riddim’s energy. Aidonia stepped up with his song, “Hey Yo.” Known for his powerful delivery and sharp lyrics, Aidonia has made a big impact on dancehall over the years. His 2013 hit “Yeah Yeah” is still played at parties across Jamaica and beyond. On “Hey Yo,” he brought his signature style, riding the beat with confidence and skill. Jayds followed with “Orange Hill.” As a member of the 4th Genna camp, Jayds has been part of several strong collaborations in the genre. His contribution on this riddim showed his ability to match the intensity of the music, adding a fresh voice to the mix. This selector’s mix from 2016 proved just how strong Jamaican studios are. With heavy bass, sharp lyrics, and skilled artists, the project stood out and kept dancers moving.
