Summer Bounce Riddim produced by Jam 2 Records 2009
Summer Bounce Overview
In 2009, the yard beat was a key part of dancehall music. This sound, with its catchy rhythm and energetic vibe, shaped the year’s biggest tracks. Producers and artists used the yard beat to create songs that filled dance floors and set the tone for parties across Jamaica and beyond. Jam 2 Records was a major force behind this movement. The label, led by Jammy “Jam 2” James, is known for its creative production and for working with top dancehall stars. Jam 2 Records has built a strong reputation, working with both new and established artists and helping to push the sound of modern dancehall. On the Summer Bounce Riddim, Vybz Kartel delivers “Gwan Suh,” showing his lyrical skill and unique voice. Kartel, who later released the acclaimed album “King of the Dancehall,” always brought energy to any riddim. Beenie Man’s “Wine” is another highlight, with the artist known worldwide for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” and his Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. Lady Saw appears twice, with “Beg U” and “Bills.” As the “Queen of Dancehall,” Lady Saw made history as the first female deejay to win a Grammy Award. Mr Vegas adds “Brand” to the mix, building on his success from songs like “Heads High.” Papa Pimp’s “Pimping Is So Easy” brings a playful edge. The instrumental version, “Summer Bounce,” rounds out the riddim, showing off the yard beat’s lasting appeal in 2009.
