Smauri Riddim produced by Snokie Lion Records 2009
Smauri Overview
Back in 2009, the Smauri Riddim was a big sound in dancehall parties. The yard beat in this riddim had a strong, steady rhythm that made people want to dance. It was not just pure dancehall, though. The beat blended with sounds from hip hop and even a little bit of reggae, making the music feel fresh and lively. This mix is what made the riddim stand out at bashment events. Each artist brought something special. Kibaki’s song, “Whos To Blame,” had his typical sharp delivery. Kibaki is also known for his work with Alliance, a famous dancehall crew. Bonez came strong with “Head Side,” showing off his energetic style. Busy Malone’s “Say Way Mi Feel Fi Say” added a catchy, raw vibe. Anorkey gave us “Him Must Bad,” while Tyrical And Savege teamed up for “Bad Man Like Me.” Iyara And Anachi also joined in with “Kill Da Whole A Dem.” Each song fit the riddim but had its own flavor. The sound engineer played a big part too, making sure every artist’s voice and the beat came together clean and powerful. Snokie Lion Records produced the riddim. This label is known for pushing new dancehall sounds and giving young artists a platform. In 2009, the Smauri Riddim showed how dancehall could keep moving forward by mixing different styles and artists.
