SHELLINGS RIDDIM produced by DJ FRASS RECORDS 2013
Shellings Overview
In 2013, the Shellings Riddim brought fresh energy to dancehall and sound system culture. The riddim’s bashment flow was designed for the dance floor, and selectors quickly made it a favorite at parties and street dances. The heavy bass, sharp snares, and catchy hooks made the Shellings Riddim easy to mix and play loud on big speakers. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a key role in shaping the riddim’s punchy sound. Careful mixing and mastering made sure every artist’s voice and every drum hit cut through clearly, even on the most powerful sound systems. The producer, DJ FRASS RECORDS, is known for pushing dancehall forward. DJ Frass, the man behind the label, has worked with top Jamaican artists and produced several hits over the years. His productions have gained millions of streams and helped shape modern dancehall’s sound. On this riddim, Agent Sasco delivered “Nuh Tek Disrespect,” showing off his sharp lyrics and strong delivery. Elephant Man, famous for his energetic performances and hits like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” brought his signature style to “Nuh Call Mi Name.” Mad Cobra, who made waves in the 1990s with the international hit “Flex,” added the tough “Shell That.” David Hayle’s “Shellings Riddim Version” rounded out the release with a pure instrumental cut. Today, the Shellings Riddim is still respected by dancehall selectors. It stands as a strong example of how modern riddims can keep sound system culture alive and moving.
