Smokin’ Overview
Back in 2010, a new bashment rhythm called Smokin’ Riddim started making noise in Jamaica’s dancehall scene. It first showed up in the selectors’ mixes at local sound clashes, and quickly became a favorite for party DJs. The riddim was built for the dance floor, with heavy bass and a smooth, infectious groove that kept people moving all night. Some of dancehall’s top artists jumped on the Smokin’ Riddim. Vegas brought his style with “Cover Girl,” a track that got plenty of forwards from the crowd. Sean Paul added his international flavor with “Turn Me On,” making the riddim popular not just in Jamaica, but overseas too. Tifa’s “Move Ur Body” became a favorite among the ladies, while Tony Matterhorn’s “Blackberry Pin” gave the riddim a fun, playful twist. Vybz Kartel, always a hitmaker, delivered “That Sweet Yuh,” which helped cement the riddim’s place in dancehall history. Other big names also voiced the riddim, including Beenie Man with “Greatest Gyal Inna Di World,” Cecile with “Woot Woot,” Di Genius with “Whine Up,” and Laden with “My Lady.” Each artist brought their own unique style, making every track stand out on its own.
