KINGSHIP RIDDIM produced by UPSETTA RECORDS 2013
Kingship Overview
Behind every great riddim, there is a master at the mixing board. For the Kingship Riddim, that king is UPSETTA RECORDS. This label has shaped modern dancehall with a sharp ear for fresh sounds and a steady hand in production. Founded in the early 2010s, UPSETTA RECORDS is known for working with both new and established dancehall artists, and their riddims have streamed worldwide, reaching fans far beyond Jamaica. The Kingship Riddim, released in 2013, captures the bold and rebellious energy of its time. The beats blend classic dancehall with hints of trap, giving the music a modern edge while keeping the dancefloor vibe alive. Each artist brings a unique style to the riddim. Boom Dekka sets the tone with "Bring Di Ting," delivering confident lyrics that fit the rhythm perfectly. Cario’s "King Roun Here" stands out with its commanding presence, showing why he is respected in the dancehall scene. Dycr, known for his storytelling, gives us "ad Mind People," a track that adds a thoughtful touch to the mix. Erup, who made waves with his hit "Click Mi Finger" in 2007, returns on this riddim with "Lah Lah," bringing his signature energy. Laza Morgan, famous for "This Girl" with Maxi Priest, delivers a heartfelt performance on "My Heart." Other voices—Melloquence with "Bun Har," Melody with "Wont Be Enough," Ras Oney’s "Why," Sanjay’s "Step Pon Di Scene," and Senita Mogul with "Go Dung Mi Gal"—add more flavor, making this riddim a true dancehall showcase. Even today, DJs spin these tracks, keeping the spirit of 2013 alive on the dancefloor. The Kingship Riddim remains a favorite for its energy and timeless bashment style.
