RETRO RIDDIM produced by DJ FRASS RECORDS 2011
Retro Overview
The bashment flow in 2011 brought a raw, street energy to dancehall, making every party feel alive. That year, the sound felt both classic and new, with heavy basslines and catchy hooks driving the vibe. The bashment flow was everywhere, shaping how people danced and how DJs mixed their sets. Behind the scenes, DJ FRASS RECORDS was a key force. The label, led by producer DJ Frass, had already made a big mark on dancehall with its sharp production style. DJ Frass is known for working with top artists and building riddims that get heavy play in Jamaica and beyond. His label’s influence grew with releases like Retro Riddim, which captured the spirit of the time. On Retro Riddim, the artists each brought something special. Assassin’s “Gallis From Birth” stood out with his signature lyrical flow—Assassin is recognized for his hit song “Idiot Ting Dat” and has worked with international artists like Kanye West. DJ Frass himself stepped up with “Retro Riddim,” showing his skills not just as a producer but as a performer. Flexxx added his voice to the mix with “Good Gold,” while Kibaki delivered the catchy “Dunce Like Bat.” Macka Diamond, known for her hit “Dye Dye” and her strong presence as a female artist, contributed “Nah Fight Over Man.” Each track added to the bashment feel, making Retro Riddim a real highlight of 2011 dancehall.
