DROP LEAF RIDDIM produced by DON CORLEON RECORDS 2005
Drop Leaf Overview
In the world of Jamaican sound system culture, the Drop Leaf Riddim stands out as a classic that brought people together at yard parties and street dances. The riddim’s smooth, soulful backdrop was built by Don Corleon Records, a label founded by Donovan “Don Corleon” Bennett. Known for shaping modern reggae and dancehall, Don Corleon Records has produced many hits and helped launch the careers of several major artists. Drop Leaf Riddim is remembered for its perfect blend of hardcore deejay performances and melodic vocal tracks. Selectors loved to mix these songs at parties, creating a vibe that was both energetic and emotional. The riddim’s gentle keys and steady beat made it easy for both singers and deejays to shine. Nina Sky & Vybz Kartel delivered “In A Dream,” a track that combined smooth harmonies with Kartel’s unmistakable style. Gentleman’s “Intoxication” brought a European reggae flavor, while Maxi Priest’s “I Believe” added a hopeful, soulful touch. Morgan Heritage’s “Your Best Friend” was a heartfelt anthem, and T.O.K’s “Footprints” offered a message of remembrance. Other standout tracks included Sizzla’s “Be Strong,” Luciano’s “For The Leaders,” and Jah Cure’s “Longing For.” Anthony B’s “Get You Girl” and Tanya Stephens’ “After You” rounded out the selection, each adding their own unique voice to the riddim. Drop Leaf Riddim’s influence can still be felt at dances and on radio. It remains a key chapter in dancehall history, showing how good music and sound system culture go hand in hand.
