HIGH STANDARD RIDDIM produced by 1ST KLASE RECORDS 2014
High Standard Overview
In 2014, dancehall music was full of new sounds and fresh energy. That year, the High Standard Riddim stood out as a key release. It came from 1ST KLASE RECORDS, a label known for working with both dancehall and soca artists. 1ST KLASE RECORDS has helped shape the sound of Caribbean music, producing tracks that get played at parties and on radio stations across the region. The High Standard Riddim brought together three unique voices. Popcaan, already popular for songs like "Only Man She Want" and his album "Where We Come From," added his signature style with "Wine So." His smooth delivery and catchy hooks made the track a favorite among fans. Bunji Garlin, known for his powerful soca hits and his 2013 anthem "Differentology," showed his versatility with "Daddy Money." Bunji Garlin is a respected artist from Trinidad and Tobago, and he has won the Soul Train Award for Best International Performance. His work on this riddim added a different flavor and showed his ability to cross genres. Preedy, another Trinidadian artist, contributed "Pay No Mind." Preedy is known for his songwriting skills and has written songs for other big soca artists. On this riddim, his vocals and lyrics brought a fresh vibe. Even years later, selectors still play this 2014 yard session tape. The High Standard Riddim remains important because of its strong production and the way each artist brought their own style. It is a true dancehall classic.
