Ridin Dirty Overview

The Ridin Dirty Riddim brought pure energy to dancehall in 2006. The set was all about fast-paced beats, heavy basslines, and a rhythm that made it perfect for sound clashes and dance floors. The vibe was raw and exciting, pushing dancers and selectors to bring their best moves and selections. Big Roundz stood out with "Never See Me Smoking Dirtys," a track that matched the riddim’s hard-hitting style. Lefside and Esco teamed up for "Stay Far From We Feat. Esco," showing their chemistry as a duo. Lefside is well known for his work as part of the group Leftside & Esco, who had a major hit with "Tuck In Yuh Belly" in the mid-2000s. Esco’s strong delivery added to the track’s appeal and helped keep the energy high. Vybz Kartel and Supa Hype joined forces for "Uptown Feat. Supa Hype." Vybz Kartel is one of dancehall’s biggest stars, known for his many chart-topping singles and his album "King of the Dancehall" which reached Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart. Supa Hype’s distinct voice and style brought extra hype to the tune. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, played a key role in shaping the sound. With a history of assembling top dancehall talents on one riddim, they made sure each track stood out while keeping the set unified. Selectors made this release a mainstay at 2006’s dancehall events, and it still brings back memories of pure dancehall fire.
