RAZORBLADE RIDDIM produced by YOUNG BLOOD
Razorblade Overview
In 2000, dancehall fans got a new sound with the Razorblade Riddim. This riddim had a strong street anthem base that made it stand out in clubs and on the radio. The beat was heavy and full of energy, making people want to dance as soon as it started. Compared to other riddims from the same time, Razorblade Riddim had a tougher, sharper sound. While other riddims used softer melodies or slower rhythms, this one went straight for the dancefloor with hard-hitting drums and bass. The producer behind it all was YOUNG BLOOD. He is known for his work with the Young Blood Records label, which has brought many popular dancehall tracks to the world. YOUNG BLOOD’s production style is easy to recognize—he always keeps the classic dancehall vibe but adds his own twist to make each riddim fresh. Several artists helped make Razorblade Riddim famous. Goofy gave fans “Music We A Push” and “Look Like Batty Man,” showing his fun and clever style. Mr Vegas, who is known for his big hit “Heads High,” brought even more fire with “Dicki Dicki” and “Diggi Diggi.” Xsytment Gang’s “Zum Zum Police” added extra energy, while Gregory Isaacs Alozade delivered “Call Di Police Pon Me.” Captain Barkey, known for his unique voice, joined in with “Miss Matty Boy.” Other tracks like Mexican Slingshot’s “Girls Priminister,” Tanya Stephens’ “Not My Fault,” and Pheobe One Qt’s “Hot Girls In Di House” kept the riddim lively.
