HIGHER OCTANE RIDDIM produced by VP MUSIC 2006

Higher Octane Overview

If you love dancehall, you know how important riddims are to the sound system culture. In 2006, the Higher Octane Riddim quickly became a true yard anthem, lighting up parties and street dances across Jamaica. The riddim’s energy and bounce made it a favorite for selectors who wanted to keep the crowd moving all night. The mastermind behind this riddim is VP MUSIC, a label with a long history in reggae and dancehall. VP MUSIC has helped launch countless hits and has always supported the culture, both in Jamaica and worldwide. Their catalog includes some of dancehall’s most famous compilations, and their influence can be felt in clubs and on radio stations everywhere. On the Higher Octane Riddim, you get a powerful line-up. Vybz Kartel’s “Math Class” is a standout, full of clever lyrics and his signature flow. Easy brings street energy with “Real Gangsters,” while Ward 21’s “New Gangsta Nation” keeps things tough and raw. Bling Dawg’s “Put Your Gunz Up” is a call to action that always gets a reaction from the crowd. Lindo P. teams up with Canadian star Kardinal Offishall for “Fire,” and Kardinal Offishall also drops his own “Fire — Fire,” bringing an international twist to the set. Other big tunes include “Give It Away” by Nicky B & Shane O, “Dutty Wine” from Crazy Chris, Lex’s “Dutty Nigger,” and “I Swear” by Delly Ranx. Even years later, the Higher Octane Riddim still brings back memories of packed dance floors and big sound systems. It’s a true classic in dancehall’s party history.
