Present Life Overview
The Present Life Riddim arrived on the dancehall scene in Jamaica in 2016. Released by RIDDIM SKY RECORDS, this bashment project quickly made its way into heavy rotation at dances and sound system sessions. Selectors loved its energy and kept it playing for months. The riddim brought together a strong line-up of artists. Delando Colley delivered “Pull Up,” a track that showed his distinct vocal style. Gappy Ranks, known for his UK reggae hit “Heaven in Her Eyes,” added “Mama Like You” to the project, bringing his international flavor. Ryme Minista contributed “Guh Harder,” showing the streetwise lyrics that made him popular in the dancehall community. Teejay, who would later find success with songs like “Uptop Boss,” performed “Changes,” highlighting his versatility even in the early days of his career. Behind the boards, RIDDIM SKY RECORDS handled the production with care. The label is known for its focus on authentic dancehall sounds and has worked on several notable riddim projects over the years. Their work on Present Life Riddim captured the raw, energetic spirit of Jamaican yard music at the time. This project stands as a snapshot of what dancehall was all about in 2016—real lyrics, driving beats, and the unmistakable vibe of the Jamaican dance.
