OVERPROOF RIDDIM produced by the late Justus Arison for JA PRODUCTIONS in 2011
Overproof Overview
In 2011, the Overproof Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most exciting voices. Supahype set the tone with “Gone,” delivering energy that matched the lively beat. Daniel Beddingfield surprised fans with his smooth vocals on “Sometimes You Just Know,” showing how dancehall could cross into pop territory. Beenie Man, a true legend, kept the party going with “Let'S Go,” proving his lasting skill on any riddim. The mix also included the catchy “You Like It” by Devina Burn Feat. Macka Diamond, and Macka Diamond - You Like It — You Like It, both adding a strong female presence to the lineup. Khago’s “Tun Up Di Ting” and Shurwayne Winchester’s “Wine On It” brought more Caribbean flavor, while Aidonia’s “Caribbean Girls” celebrated the region’s beauty and culture. Vision’s “So Wet” and Justus Arison’s “Overproof Version” rounded out the project with fresh sounds. The late Justus Arison, producing for JA PRODUCTIONS, was the mastermind behind the Overproof Riddim. He was known for creating beats that were both catchy and versatile, and Overproof was no different. His work helped push JA PRODUCTIONS to the front of the dancehall scene, earning streams and respect worldwide. The bashment flow of Overproof Riddim quickly made it a yard anthem. The mix of artists and songs captured the fun and unity of dancehall at its best. Even years later, this riddim stands out as a key moment in dancehall history, reminding fans of the genre’s power to bring people together.
