Run Riddim – Q45 Records

RUN RIDDIM produced by Q45 RECORDS 2001

Run Overview

In 2001, the bashment rhythm brought a special kind of energy to dancehall music. Fans loved its raw sound and heavy beats. The Run Riddim stood out from other dancehall collections of the time because of its driving party vibe. While many riddims from that era focused on smooth or digital sounds, this one had a more aggressive style. It made people want to dance right away. Several big names helped make this riddim a classic. Capleton’s “Run So Fast” showed his powerful delivery, just like in his hit “Jah Jah City.” Cecile brought her unique voice to “Thats Right,” adding a fresh female perspective. Elephant Man, known for his lively stage shows, kept the energy high with “Bun Out.” Lexxus (Mr Lex) added his own flair with “Quit.” Jack and A-Diamond teamed up for “Real Wit It.” Merciless gave fans two tracks, “Chatty Mouth” and “Sleeper,” while Mr Vegas delivered “Alligator.” Q45 RECORDS produced the riddim and played a key role in shaping its sound. The label has worked with several top artists and is known for supporting the singjay style in dancehall. Their work with the Run Riddim helped define the era’s club sound. This collection captured what Jamaican yard music was all about in the early 2000s: energy, originality, and pure dancehall spirit.
