LIGHT DEM UP RIDDIM produced by I.M.P RECORDS / GRAFTA 2021
Light Dem Up Overview
Today, the Light Dem Up Riddim is remembered as one of the most club-ready dancehall releases of 2021. It captured the rebellious spirit of its time, with a sound that pushed dancers and DJs to new levels. The riddim stood out in a year crowded with bashment drops, thanks to its bold energy and unique style. A big part of the riddim’s impact came from the artists who voiced it. Bad Stallion and Future Di Captain joined forces on "Pon Di Edge," a track that quickly became a favorite in dancehall sessions. Future Di Captain also delivered "Nah Take Chat," showing his ability to ride the riddim with confidence. Hardio and Natanja teamed up for "Whine Up Fi Mi," a song that showcased their chemistry and brought a playful vibe to the project. Madd Bwoy Khaki’s "Real Dancehall" paid respect to the genre’s roots, while Stank’s "Waan Money" added a gritty, streetwise edge. Each artist brought their own flavor, making the riddim feel fresh and complete. Behind the scenes, I.M.P RECORDS / GRAFTA was the driving force. Known for their work in the dancehall scene, GRAFTA has produced several popular riddims and helped push new sounds into the mainstream. Their attention to detail and production skills made Light Dem Up Riddim stand tall among other releases in 2021. The riddim’s instrumental, "Light Dem Up Riddim Instrumental" by Grafta, gave DJs and dancers the perfect backdrop for creativity. Together, the artists and producer created a project that still gets played in clubs and dancehall events, a true highlight of its era.
