Hummer Overview
In 2001, dancehall selectors had a fresh set of tunes to spin, thanks to the Hummer Riddim collection. This release balanced sharp lyrics with the classic dancehall groove, making it a favorite in parties and sound clashes. The whole project was shaped by FRESH EAR PRODUCTIONS, a well-known name in Jamaican music. They are recognized for working with top dancehall artists and pushing the sound forward in the early 2000s. Their production style is tight and catchy, giving each song a big, anthemic feel that stands out in any session. The artists on this riddim each brought something special. Gabriel’s “Wicked People” had a strong message, and selectors liked how his voice rode the beat. Kiprich’s “Hold Your Firm” stood out too. Kiprich is known for his clever lyrics and has had hits like “Telephone Ting.” Lexxus, with “Time So Hard,” added a realness that connected with the crowd. Lexxus is famous for songs like “Cook” and has been a staple in dancehall for years. Wanted Squad F. Gabriel teamed up for “How Dem A Gwaan So,” bringing more energy and style to the mix. Selectors picked these tracks because each artist’s delivery fit the riddim perfectly. The production quality, along with the artists’ unique voices, made Hummer Riddim a must-play in 2001 dancehall sessions.
