Mid West Overview
In 2009, the yard beat of the Mid West Riddim stood out in dancehall music. The sound was bold and full of energy, giving fans the raw feeling they wanted. Heights Records produced this riddim, bringing together different artists and songs. Known for working with both new and established acts, Heights Records helped shape the sound of dancehall in that period. Alozade delivered “Whine Baby Whine,” a track with his usual lively style. Alozade is also known for his earlier hit “Bad Out Deh,” which made waves in dancehall. Design’s “College Break” added a catchy vibe, fitting well with the riddim’s upbeat mood. Mr Banging teamed up with Hasytle on “Money Mi Seh,” a song that became popular in clubs. Hasytle - Money Mi Seh also brought his own version, keeping the riddim fresh. Natty Khris joined with “Whine Up Yuh Self,” giving another layer to the project. Roach Ft Lady Saw performed “Hide And Clap,” and Lady Saw - Hide And Clap showed the strong presence of female voices. Singer Jah’s “Making A Wish” and Stein’s “Set Har” gave the riddim even more variety. Compared to other riddims of 2009, Mid West Riddim kept the classic yard beat alive. While some productions were moving toward digital sounds, this riddim stayed close to the roots of dancehall. The sound engineer played a key role, making sure each song was clear and powerful. The Mid West Riddim remains a true example of 2009’s dancehall energy.
