PROMISED LAND RIDDIM
Promised Land Overview
In 2001, the Promised Land Riddim became a favorite in Jamaica’s sound system culture. This dancehall set was played by selectors at many parties and dance sessions during that year. The riddim’s strong, energetic beat made it perfect for sound clashes, where different crews compete to move the crowd. The architect behind the Promised Land Riddim was producer Richard “Shams” Browne. Known for his work on other dancehall projects, Shams created a beat that was both powerful and catchy. His production style helped make this riddim stand out in the dancehall scene. Two artists gave the Promised Land Riddim its unique voice. Current Man performed “Ment To Be,” bringing his own style to the set. Sizzla, already famous for songs like “Thank You Mama” and the album “Da Real Thing,” added his fire with “Catch The Place A Fire.” Sizzla’s energetic delivery matched the riddim’s lively mood, making his track a highlight at many events. Together, these songs kept the dancefloor moving in 2001. The Promised Land Riddim, with its rowdy sound and strong artists, became a key part of sound system sessions that year. It still stands as an example of dancehall’s power and energy.
