Metro Riddim – Various Artists

METRO RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2010

Metro Overview

The Metro Riddim from 2010 brought a fresh energy to dancehall music. Its beat is both powerful and catchy, blending classic yard vibes with new sounds. The rhythm moves fast and sharp, perfect for the dance floor, but still carries that deep, pulsing bass that fans love. Several artists brought their own style to this riddim. Almirante stands out with “Por Lento,” a track that shows his smooth delivery and strong presence. Almirante is well known in Panama for his work in the reggae en español scene, and “Por Lento” kept his momentum going in 2010. Bandido & Jah Kayan teamed up for “Disque Gangsters,” bringing a tough edge and real street feel to the riddim. Chendomatic Love adds a lighter touch with “Prende Y Jala,” while El Boys C brings two tracks, “Este Mudo” and “Callao,” each with their own unique flavor. El Kid’s “Thank You Mama” is a heartfelt song that stands out for its message. The project was guided by producer VARIOUS ARTISTS, a collective known for shaping many dancehall and reggae releases. Their work on Metro Riddim helped keep the sound fresh, mixing different influences and making sure each track fit the overall vibe. In 2010, Metro Riddim was a favorite on dancehall playlists, showing how the genre can stay true to its roots while moving forward.
