STEPPINGS RIDDIM produced by ROMEICH RECORDS – 2011
Steppings Overview
When Steppings Riddim dropped in 2011, DJs across Jamaica quickly picked up the yard session tape. The riddim brought a fresh bashment flow that stood out from other session tapes of the time. While many riddims in 2011 had digital sounds, Steppings Riddim kept a lively, raw energy that made it perfect for parties and street sessions. Beenie Man’s “Bruk Out Bruk Out” was a highlight. Known as the “King of Dancehall,” Beenie Man already had big songs like “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” and a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2001. On this riddim, his delivery was sharp and full of vibes. Cee Gee’s “Lyrics A Drain Out A Mi Head” showed off strong lyrical skills, matching the riddim’s energy. Dario & Delus joined forces for “Dem A Gyal Fool,” bringing a catchy hook that became popular at dances. Jim Redz’s “Nuh Care If Dem Hate Me” added a bold attitude, while Kiprich delivered “Man A Hot Steppa.” Kiprich is known for his witty lyrics and hits like “Telephone Ting.” Each artist used the riddim to show their unique style. ROMEICH RECORDS - produced the Steppings Riddim. Romeich Major, the label’s founder, is known for helping new talent and producing hits for acts like Shenseea and Ding Dong. The production kept the horn riffs steady, giving the riddim a signature sound. Looking back, the bashment flow of Steppings Riddim helped keep dancehall lively in 2011.
