SIDEWALK DUCK RIDDIM produced by JAM 2 RECORDS ?2007
Sidewalk Duck Overview
In 2007, Sidewalk Duck Riddim became one of the most popular sounds at bashment parties. The rhythm was produced by JAM 2 RECORDS, a label run by Jammy ‘Jam 2’ James, son of the legendary King Jammy. JAM 2 RECORDS was known for modern dancehall hits and for keeping the family’s musical legacy strong. This riddim had a sharp, energetic style that made people want to dance. It was used at many bashment events that year. The arranger’s job was to make sure every track fit perfectly on the beat, keeping the party energy high. Aidonia’s “Stand Up Front” was a standout on the riddim, showing off his rapid-fire lyrics. Beenie Man, already famous for his hit “Girls Dem Sugar,” added “Girls Cry,” bringing his signature flow. Beenie Man And Don Mafia teamed up for “High Grade,” a song that was popular among partygoers. Bounty Killer, known for his powerful voice and the classic “War Dem Want,” brought a tough edge to the riddim. Cecile’s “Bruk Out” gave the project a fun, confident vibe. Compared to other bashment rhythms from that time, Sidewalk Duck Riddim was more focused and club-ready. It stood out for its clean production and strong lineup of artists. The riddim helped define the sound of late-night dancehall in 2007.
