Lightning Bolt Riddim produced by Mr G/Young Blood Records in 2010
Lightning Bolt Overview
In 2010, the bashment rhythm known as the Lightning Bolt Riddim brought fresh energy to dancehall. The riddim was built in the studio by Mr G, a veteran artist and producer behind Young Blood Records. Mr G, who once scored a major hit with "Swaggerific" and is known for his sharp lyrics and production skills, shaped the project with a clear vision—he wanted a sound that would set dance floors alight. The beat itself was crafted with a driving bassline and catchy melodies, perfect for the bashment style that had become the heartbeat of Jamaican parties. Mr G worked closely with his team, making sure every element was tight and ready for the artists. When it was time to record, a select group of artists brought their voices to the riddim. Blak Ryno, known for his time with the Portmore Empire and songs like "Bike Back," delivered the fierce "Sting Dem." Fambo and Harry Toddler teamed up for "Gyal Feelings," bringing a playful edge. Ginjah, respected for his roots reggae work and the hit "Never Lost My Way," showed his versatility with "Baddest." Got You voiced "Hungry," while Khago, who had just started making waves with "Nah Sell Out," added "Live A Life." The Lightning Bolt Riddim quickly became a staple in dancehall sessions and clubs, celebrated for its raw, authentic sound. It stands as a defining bashment release of its era, capturing the spirit and excitement of 2010 dancehall culture.
