Kick Off Overview
In 2013, dancehall music was bursting with new energy, and the Kick Off Riddim helped set the pace. The riddim was crafted in a Kingston studio, where the studio hand worked closely with the producer to shape the sound. EVAHYPE MUSIC, the producer behind the project, is known for pushing modern dancehall forward. The label has built a reputation for crisp, energetic riddims and has worked with several emerging artists in the genre. The creation of the Kick Off Riddim was a careful process. The beat was built from the ground up, layer by layer, with each instrument and sample chosen for its punch and clarity. The studio hand played a key role, making sure every sound fit together perfectly. Once the beat was ready, it was time to bring in the artists. Beez stepped up with “Run Een,” delivering sharp lyrics and a catchy flow that matched the riddim’s lively vibe. Beez is known for his unique voice and style, and “Run Een” became a favorite on the dancefloor. Waq followed with “Kickoff,” adding his own flavor to the mix. Waq has been recognized for his energetic performances and has worked with several top names in dancehall. When the Kick Off Riddim was released, it quickly caught the attention of DJs and sound systems. The yard beat captured the spirit of 2013, and even now, it brings back memories of packed parties and street dances. The riddim’s influence can still be heard in dancehall today.
