Sneak Preview Overview
The bashment rhythm has always been a driving force in dancehall music, bringing raw energy and street flavor to sessions across Jamaica and beyond. In 2013, the Sneak Preview Riddim became a standout example of this style, thanks to the work of GUTTY BLING RECORDS / CLAIMS RECORDS. This label has built a strong reputation for delivering hard-hitting dancehall projects and is known for shaping the sound of modern dancehall with several notable releases. On the Sneak Preview Riddim, some of dancehall’s biggest names came together. Beenie Man & Sean Paul joined forces for "Greatest Gallis," a track that quickly became a dancefloor favorite. Elephant Man delivered his trademark high energy on "Fashion Statement," adding more hype to the riddim. New Kidz kept the momentum going with "Tip Up Pon Yu Toe," a song that encourages lively dance moves. Shaka Pow’s "Pretty Little Kitten" brought a playful touch, while Boom Boom’s "Hot Gal Summin" captured the attention of party crowds. Chase Cross added his voice with "Gold Mine," and The Vor’s "Times So Dread" offered a more serious perspective. The collaboration between Uncle Mucks and 7 Plat on "Buss Inna Mi Head" rounded out the riddim, showing the versatility of the bashment style. With its catchy grooves and energetic delivery, the Sneak Preview Riddim remains an important part of dancehall history. The project not only showcased top artists but also highlighted the lasting influence of GUTTY BLING RECORDS / CLAIMS RECORDS in the genre.
