NEXT LEVEL RIDDIM produced by KALASHNIKOV RECORDS 2007
Next Level Overview
In 2007, the yard beat was a key sound in dancehall, especially in sound system culture. Sound systems would play these riddims loud at street parties and dances, letting selectors show off their skills. The yard beat’s deep bass and sharp drums made it perfect for big speakers and energetic crowds. Behind every great riddim is a sound engineer. The engineer shapes the music’s power, balancing the bass and making sure every artist’s voice is clear. Without this work, the riddim would not have the same impact on the dance floor. KALASHNIKOV RECORDS produced this project. The label is known for bringing a raw, island feel to their releases. KALASHNIKOV RECORDS has built a reputation for working with talented artists and helping to push dancehall music to new places. This release features top names. Anthony B delivers “Caan Put Hand Pon Mi,” showing why he is respected in reggae and dancehall. Elephant Man, famous for his hit “Pon De River, Pon De Bank,” brings energy with “No Raper.” Chin & Big Pop team up for “Dem Waan Fi War,” while Geefus & Fambo add party vibes with “Party Time.” Hit List brings “Nuh Draw Mi Out” to the mix. Selectors included this bashment project in many 2007 events, making it a favorite for dancehall fans. The riddim’s strong yard beat and top performances made it stand out that year.
