HOOK UP RIDDIM produced by E5 RECORDS 2014
Hook Up Overview
In 2014, the Hook Up Riddim dropped and quickly became a yard anthem across Jamaica. The beat stands out among other dancehall riddims of its time for its lively, energetic style and catchy melodies. Many riddims from that era were digital and heavy, but Hook Up Riddim blends smooth harmonies and a driving rhythm that made it a favorite for both DJs and fans. The track Popcaan & Kano — Alien (Clean) brings together Popcaan, known for his hit “Only Man She Want” and collaborations with artists like Drake, and Kano, a respected UK rapper. Their voices glide over the riddim, giving it international flavor and energy. Ryme Minista — Dun This (Clean) adds a streetwise edge, with Ryme Minista showing the sharp lyrical style he’s known for in the dancehall scene. Blade Skeemaz — Money Champion (Clean) delivers a hustler’s anthem, matching the riddim’s upbeat vibe. Sizzla — Raggamuffin brings roots reggae fire, with Sizzla’s powerful voice—he’s famous for albums like “Da Real Thing” and has been nominated for a Grammy. Each artist brings a unique style, but the riddim ties them together. The mixing board king behind it all is E5 RECORDS. This label is known for producing quality dancehall and reggae, and Hook Up Riddim is one of their standout releases. E5 RECORDS has worked with many top Jamaican acts and has built a reputation for sharp production and memorable beats. Hook Up Riddim echoes the fire of 2014 and still lives on in dancehall sets today.
