Shooter Riddim – Delroy Foster

SHOOTER RIDDIM produced by DELROY FOSTER 2008

The yard session tape from 2008 opened with tracks that captured the real sound of the street. Right away, the deep bass and sharp topline melodies made it clear: dancehall was all about energy and raw truth. The Shooter Riddim carried much of this weight. Its steady groove set the stage for some of the most memorable songs of that year. One standout was Vybz Kartel — Vybz Rum. Vybz Kartel, already a force in dancehall by 2008, brought his signature lyrical style to this track. Known for his clever wordplay, he had already scored major hits like “Clarks” later on, but “Vybz Rum” showed his ability to create anthems rooted in everyday life. Sizzla — Dem A Go Dead also made a mark on the tape. Sizzla had built his reputation through both conscious lyrics and street heat, with albums like “Da Real Thing” earning him international respect in reggae and dancehall circles. His voice cut through the riddim, carrying messages that resonated far beyond Jamaica. Norris Man — Pass Di Gunz brought a different flavor to the session. Norris Man is known for his roots-inspired delivery, and “Pass Di Gunz” fit right into the vibe of reflection and reality found across Shooter Riddim productions. Behind these tracks stood producer DELROY FOSTER. As founder of Yardstyle Entertainment, Foster had been active in shaping modern riddims since the early 2000s. His work reached streaming audiences worldwide, helping bring Jamaican sounds to new listeners.
