Penultimate Overview
In 2021, the Penultimate Riddim captured the energy of dancehall with its heavy, layered sound. At the center of this project was DIGITAL1 PRODUCTION / KELLY BEATZ, a producer and label known for blending modern beats with classic dancehall style. DIGITAL1 PRODUCTION has built a reputation for high-quality releases and has worked with both rising and established artists, helping to shape the current dancehall scene. The recording process behind Penultimate Riddim was all about precision. Each track was built with care, using deep basslines and sharp percussion to keep the dancefloor moving. Kelly Beatz’s attention to detail made sure that every song stood out, but still fit together as a whole. The riddim was mixed to sound powerful on big speakers, making it a favorite for selectors at sound clashes. Artists like Badda General brought their own flavor with the track "Swingsoong," adding strong lyrics and a catchy flow. Badda General is known for his hit "I Wish," which topped reggae charts and earned him international recognition. Collinjah’s "Brand New" gave the riddim a fresh vibe, while Digital1 Ft Mojo Morgan & SoHoGus delivered energy with "Turn Me Up." Mojo Morgan, a member of the GRAMMY-winning Morgan Heritage, added his signature style to the same track. Other highlights included Digital1 Ft Naveesh & Shari Don’s "Entanglement," and solo performances from Naveesh with "Entanglement," Disturb with "Greedy," and Footsteps with "Yes Indeed." Songs like Gage’s "Couple Years" and Jahllano’s "Expensive Lifestyle" kept the riddim diverse and exciting. Even now, selectors remember how these tracks kept the speakers rumbling and brought back the unforgettable vibe of 2021.
