KNOCKOUT RIDDIM produced by GREENSLEEVES RECORDS 2003

Knockout Overview

In 2003, the vibrant energy of dancehall music was captured perfectly in the studio with the creation of the Knockout Riddim. The masterminds at GREENSLEEVES RECORDS, known for their influence in the reggae and dancehall scenes, crafted a riddim that became a staple at block parties. GREENSLEEVES, a label with a rich history of promoting reggae music since the late 1970s, gave this riddim a distinctive sound that was both cohesive and versatile. The Knockout Riddim featured a mix of hardcore deejay cuts and smooth vocals. Beenie Man, known for his hit song "Haters," brought his signature style to the project, adding a layer of charisma that fans loved. Bling Dawg and Buccaneer teamed up for "Dem Boy Deh," a track that showcased their dynamic chemistry and lyrical prowess. Bounty Killer, with his track "Musical Works," delivered his usual powerful performance, cementing his status as a dancehall legend. Buju Banton, who had already made waves with hits like "5 0," contributed his unique voice and energy to the riddim, while Capleton's "Burn Them Out Or Mi" added a fiery intensity that was hard to ignore. Each artist brought something special to the table, making the Knockout Riddim a memorable release. The riddim's party backdrop defined the bashment energy of 2003, creating an atmosphere that was both infectious and unforgettable. The creative direction of GREENSLEEVES RECORDS ensured that the riddim left a lasting impression, whether played at a lively party or streamed at home.
