OVERCAST RIDDIM produced by M.CYDE MUSIQ 2023
Overcast Overview
In 2023, the dancehall scene was buzzing with powerful riddims, but few captured the pure energy of the bashment like Overcast Riddim. The journey began in the Kingston studio of M.CYDE MUSIQ, a producer known for his sharp ear and dynamic releases. Over the years, M.CYDE MUSIQ has built a reputation for blending classic dancehall vibes with a modern edge, and his label has quietly become a force on streaming platforms, especially with younger audiences. The vision for Overcast Riddim was simple: create a beat that could light up dancefloors while giving artists space to shine. M.CYDE MUSIQ crafted a bouncy, infectious rhythm, then brought in three artists with distinct voices. Mobdon, already celebrated for his hit "Stay Suh," brought his signature flow and energy to the project. J Vybz, known for "Taurus," added a bold, lyrical touch, building on his growing recognition in the dancehall community. Elvitcho, who made waves with "Sinna," contributed a gritty, heartfelt performance, rounding out the riddim’s lineup. Each artist recorded their track separately, but the final release felt unified—every song a unique chapter in the Overcast Riddim story. When the riddim dropped, it quickly became a staple in dancehall sessions, praised for its raw energy and tight production. In a year packed with standout bashment releases, Overcast Riddim stood tall, proving that collaboration and fresh production can still set the dancehall world alight.
