HIGH TOP RIDDIM produced by FUTURE RECORDS 2017
High Top Overview
In 2017, the High Top Riddim brought a fresh energy to dancehall music. This collection mixed hardcore deejay styles with smooth, melodic vocals, showing how bashment flow can blend with other genres. The riddim’s heavy beats and catchy hooks made it stand out, but it was the mix of voices that really gave it life. Anthony B’s “Righteousness” set a powerful tone, using his strong delivery to talk about truth and justice. Capleton followed with “Alright,” bringing his signature fiery energy and uplifting messages. Chuck Fenda’s “Worker” spoke for everyday people, mixing classic dancehall with a bit of roots reggae feeling. Dycr’s “Wickie People” added a storytelling touch, blending spoken word with the riddim’s bounce. Jaztik’s “Dem Badmind” brought a smoother, almost R&B style, showing how bashment can work with softer vocals too. Lion Man and Tunki both delivered “Loving in the Sun,” giving the riddim a romantic side, while Ras Ghandi’s “Nah Use Them” and Sizzla’s “Do the Maths” kept the conscious vibes strong. Slehdjan’s “Whine Like That” showed the party side, perfect for the dance floor. Behind all these songs was FUTURE RECORDS, a producer known for shaping modern dancehall sounds.
