SWEAT SHOP RIDDIM produced by WARD 21 PRODUCTIONS 2011
Sweat Shop Overview
The Sweat Shop Riddim was built in the studio with a clear goal: to make a beat that would get people moving in clubs and street dances. The studio hand guided the creative direction, making sure the sound was fresh but still true to dancehall roots. This hands-on approach helped shape the riddim’s crisp, energetic vibe. The riddim was produced by WARD 21 PRODUCTIONS, a well-known name in dancehall. The group behind the label, Ward 21, started in the late 1990s and is famous for their work as both artists and producers. Their influence can be heard on many popular dancehall tracks, and they have worked with big names in the industry. On the Sweat Shop Riddim, three artists stood out. Iceman delivered “Mischievous,” bringing his unique style to the project. Iceman is known for his witty lyrics and has been a part of the dancehall scene for years. Next, Richie Loop’s “Gal Whine” added a catchy, high-energy sound. Richie Loop is recognized for his hit song “My Cupp,” which got international attention in 2010. Voicemail rounded out the riddim with “Dip & Come Up.” The group Voicemail is famous for their dance anthems like “Wacky Dip,” which became a staple at parties. The Sweat Shop Riddim was a big part of dancehall in 2011, playing often at street dances and leaving a mark on the music scene.
