Name Brand Riddim – Studio Mix 1998
Name Brand Overview
In 1998, the dancehall scene was full of energy and excitement. The Name Brand Riddim arrived just in time for the party season, bringing a new sound that made people want to dance. This riddim quickly became popular at street dances and festivals across Jamaica. The Name Brand Riddim was important because it gave a big chance to new artists. Devonte was one of the standout voices on this project. At the time, Devonte was already known for his hit song "Hot Gal," which helped him become a favorite in the dancehall world. His smooth style and catchy lyrics made him a perfect fit for the riddim. G Ewart and K Beckett also joined the project. For both G Ewart and K Beckett, this riddim was a key moment in their careers. Their track on the riddim helped introduce them to a wider audience and showed their talent to dancehall fans. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a big role in shaping the Name Brand Riddim. The engineer made sure the bass was heavy and the drums were sharp, giving the riddim its signature sound. The producer, if known, would have guided the project and helped bring the artists together, but the engineer’s work was clear in every beat. Even many years later, selectors still play the Name Brand Riddim at dances. Its timeless groove keeps people moving, and it remains a favorite for both fans and DJs. This 1998 release is a true dancehall classic.
