SUDDEN DEATH RIDDIM produced by RED SQUARE PRODUCTIONS 2011
Sudden Death Overview
In 2011, dancehall was full of bold rhythms and high-energy tracks. The Sudden Death Riddim landed right in the middle of this scene, bringing a fresh bashment sound to yard playlists and dance floors. Its driving beat and catchy hooks made it a favorite for selectors looking to hype up a crowd. The mastermind behind the riddim is RED SQUARE PRODUCTIONS, a label known for pushing new sounds in dancehall. Founded by Spragga Benz, RED SQUARE PRODUCTIONS has been active since the early 2000s, helping to shape the careers of several artists and producing tracks that get steady spins in Jamaica and abroad. On this riddim, each artist brings their own fire. 3 Star delivers "Bad & Proud," a confident anthem that fits the mood of the dance. Arrow Kan shows versatility with two tracks, "Better Way" and "Miss Alovera," each highlighting his lyrical flow. Briggy Benz’s "Father Nuh Lef Wi Side" stands out, and fans may know him for his family connection to Spragga Benz, a respected name in dancehall. Bunny General, a veteran with hits like "Full Up A Class," joins in with "Dem Naah Dance," bringing his signature style. Chulu Blaxxx rounds out the lineup with "Longtime," adding a smooth vibe to the project. In 2011, the Sudden Death Riddim was a true bashment staple, showing the strength of dancehall’s new generation.
