TEAR ROAD RIDDIM produced by BASSICK RECORDS 2013
Tear Road Overview
In 2013, a new riddim started to shake up dancehall parties across Jamaica. Tear Road Riddim, produced by BASSICK RECORDS, became a favorite for sound systems. If you remember those nights, you know the feeling when the bassline dropped and the crowd moved as one. This riddim was built for those moments, giving selectors a powerful tool to light up any session. BASSICK RECORDS, known for their sharp production style, put real work into this project. The label has a history of pushing the sound of modern dancehall while keeping the roots strong. With Tear Road Riddim, they used classic dancehall elements but gave them a fresh twist. It was a sound that respected tradition but wasn’t afraid to move forward. The artists on Tear Road Riddim brought extra energy. Jabalance’s “Tom And Jerry (Tommy Lee Diss)” was full of clash vibes and lyrical fire. Runkus teamed up with Amity on “We A Tear Road,” showing off their chemistry and smooth delivery. Teflon’s “Tear Road” added even more heat, with a voice and style that matched the riddim’s driving beat. Each song gave the riddim its own flavor, but together, they made it unforgettable. To this day, when selectors drop the sound system cut of Tear Road Riddim, the fire of 2013 comes alive again. It’s a classic example of how a riddim and sound system culture work together, bringing people together on the dancefloor, year after year.
