MENTALITY RIDDIM VOL.2 – NATURAL BOND ENTERTAINMENT 2021
Mentality Overview
The Mentality Riddim yard session tape first appeared in 2021, quickly catching the attention of dancehall fans looking for raw, energetic sounds. Recorded in Jamaica, the session brought together a group of artists who each added their unique style to the project. Drewzie’s “Lock Speech” stands out with its confident delivery, matching the riddim’s driving beat. Frazle Dan, known for his lively stage presence, contributed “Gyal Wine,” a song that kept the energy high and the dancefloor moving. Lybran, who previously gained attention for his hit “Jamaican Badman,” delivered both clean and raw versions of “Sober (Rumboss),” showing his versatility and strong voice. Harmonique brought a different flavor with “Improvement,” while Deeclef’s “Go Hard” (available in both clean and raw edits) added a gritty, determined edge to the tape. Behind the scenes, the studio hand played a vital role in capturing the spontaneous vibe of the session. The producer, if mentioned, would be noted for their skill in blending these various voices into a unified sound, but the main focus here remained on the artists and their performances. Looking back, the Mentality Riddim came to represent the spirit of 2021 in dancehall. It was a year when collaboration and raw energy were at the forefront, and this riddim captured that perfectly. Each artist brought something personal, but together, they created a sound that celebrated the core of dancehall music.
