Rainstic Riddim – Various Artists

RAINSTIC RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007

Rainstic Overview

In 2007, dancehall music was full of street anthems and new riddims. During this time, selectors and fans looked for fresh sounds to play at parties and dances. The Rainstic Riddim became one of those popular drops in the dancehall scene. The producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS helped bring the Rainstic Riddim to life. While not a single person, this name often appears on big dancehall compilations, tying together different artists on one project. These projects have helped many songs get attention in clubs and on radio. Aidonia, a rising star at the time, brought his energy to the riddim with "Hole Di Trigger." Aidonia is known for his rapid-fire lyrics and went on to release hits like "Yeah Yeah" and "Banga." Frisco Kid, a veteran in dancehall, added his track "Migraine Headache." He is well known for his 1990s hit "Gal Pon De Side." Vybz Kartel, already a big name by 2007, delivered "Send Fi Me Army." Kartel is famous for songs like "Clarks" and the album "King of the Dancehall." All three artists gave the Rainstic Riddim their own style. Selectors played this riddim at many events in 2007, making it a favorite for both dancing and listening. The combination of strong voices and rhythms helped the riddim stand out that year.
