The Blue Note Riddim – Various Artists

THE BLUE NOTE RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2011

The Blue Note Overview

In 2011, dancehall parties were all about energy and unity, and the Blue Note Riddim captured that spirit perfectly. The riddim’s journey started in the studio with producer VARIOUS ARTISTS, a name known for bringing together different talents under one sound. With a history of working with both new and established acts, VARIOUS ARTISTS helped shape the sound of the era, often releasing music through independent labels and gaining a loyal following online. The riddim itself was built for the dancefloor, with a lively backdrop that quickly became a favorite at bashment events. Ironik’s “Like Yuh Style” set the tone, riding the beat with a catchy flow. Joe Militant followed up with “Bend Over,” a track that kept the energy high and the crowd moving. Lincoln’s “Take It” added a punchy vibe, showing his knack for memorable hooks. Squeezy Rankin doubled up with two tracks: “Baby Daddy” and “Confessions Pt.2.” Squeezy Rankin, already known for his work on tracks like “Squeezy Does It,” brought his signature style, keeping listeners locked in. Statik closed out the mix with “We Wah Money,” a tune that spoke to the hustle of everyday life—a theme Statik often explores. Together, these songs made the Blue Note Riddim a must-have for 2011 dancehall selectors, keeping the party backdrop alive from creation to dancefloor.
