High Five Overview
In 2013, the High Five Riddim brought a new wave of bashment energy to dancehall. The heavy basslines and sharp melodies made it a favorite for sound systems across Jamaica. DJs loved to play it at street dances, where the powerful sound could really move the crowd. The riddim’s deep, rolling groove fit perfectly into the sound system culture, giving selectors a strong foundation to build their sets.

The label has worked with several rising and established artists, building a reputation for quality and style. Their productions often get strong support in the dancehall community and online, with streaming numbers showing their impact. The sound engineer played a key role in shaping the High Five Riddim. By balancing the bass, drums, and melodies, the engineer made sure the riddim sounded crisp and powerful on big speakers. This attention to detail helped the riddim stand out during live sessions and radio play. On this project, Shack Ft Navino delivered the song “Lose Your Girl.” This track became a standout for its catchy hook and streetwise lyrics. Navino, who is featured on the song, is known for his work with Aidonia and the J.O.P crew. His voice and style brought extra energy to the riddim. Many fans and selectors say High Five Riddim defined the bashment sound of 2013. Its influence can still be heard in dancehall parties today, showing the staying power of both the riddim and RURAL AREA PRODUCTIONS.
