SOUNDBOY KILLA RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012
Soundboy Killa Overview
In 2012, dancehall music saw a big wave of new sounds, and the bashment rhythm stood out as one of the year’s strongest. The energy and bounce of this style matched the mood of parties and street dances across Jamaica and beyond. DJs quickly picked up this rhythm, bringing it to clubs and sound systems everywhere. Behind the beat was producer VARIOUS ARTISTS, known for shaping some of the most memorable dancehall projects of the early 2010s. With a track record of working under different labels, VARIOUS ARTISTS helped push dancehall into new spaces. Their productions often get heavy play on streaming platforms, showing real impact in the genre. The compilation features Augusta Massive Efno And Flebwoy, Chemical X, and War Professa, each bringing a unique voice. Augusta Massive Efno And Flebwoy deliver “Outside Cold,” a track with sharp lyrics and strong delivery. Chemical X follows with “Bad Up,” building on their reputation for aggressive, catchy hooks. Chemical X is also known for the single “Ruff Up,” which gained traction in dancehall circles. War Professa closes out the trio with “Dem Fraid A Mi,” a song that highlights his commanding presence. War Professa’s earlier work, including collaborations with regional sound systems, helped build his name before this release. Together, these artists helped the bashment rhythm become a key sound in 2012. The project’s raw energy and tight production made it a favorite among DJs and fans, marking an important moment in dancehall culture.
