SKIMPY RIDDIM produced by IKATION RECORDS 2013
Skimpy Overview
In 2013, a new dancehall sound took over clubs and dance floors: the Skimpy Riddim. This riddim was different from other mixes selectors played at the time. While many riddims had heavy bass and slow grooves, Skimpy Riddim stood out with its bouncy beats and high energy. The music felt rebellious and fresh, matching the mood of young people who wanted something new. Three artists helped make Skimpy Riddim a hit. Cubanis brought sharp lyrics to the track "Me Wah Yuh Fi," showing his style that fans love. Global delivered the song "Get Mad Gal," adding his own flavor to the riddim. Lizard Hype’s "Hard Fi Deal Wid" gave the project its raw edge. Each artist made their song sound unique, but together they kept the energy high. Compared to other riddims from selectors like DJ Frass or Chimney Records, Skimpy Riddim had a brighter, more playful vibe. It was made for the club, with beats that made people want to dance all night. Many selectors said it captured the real bashment spirit of 2013. The producer behind it all was IKATION RECORDS. Known for their catchy hooks and modern sound, IKATION RECORDS had already made a name in dancehall. Their work on Skimpy Riddim showed why they are respected in the industry. By bringing together top talent and fresh production, they helped define the sound of dancehall that year. Skimpy Riddim remains a favorite for fans who love high-energy music.
