THE BUFF RIDDIM produced by GODBLESS RECORDS 2014
The Buff Overview
In 2014, dancehall was full of energy and new ideas. The Buff Riddim was one of those projects that caught the spirit of the year. Its lively beat and modern sound made it a favorite at parties and sound systems across Jamaica and beyond. The creative force behind the riddim was GODBLESS RECORDS. Known for pushing dancehall forward, GODBLESS RECORDS had already built a reputation for crisp production and a focus on sound system culture. Their work connected with both fans and selectors, helping to shape the sound of the time. The Buff Riddim brought together a strong lineup of artists, each adding their own style. Cudjo Banton delivered “Weed,” a track that stood out with its catchy hook and steady flow. Deanie Ranks made a double impact with “Fight Over Gal” and “Modelling,” showing his range as a deejay. Galaxy P’s “Ain’T No Stopping” brought his signature energy; fans might remember him from his earlier hit “Breeze Off,” which made waves in the late 1990s. Harry Toddler, known for his time with Scare Dem Crew and his solo hit “Don’t Run In,” kept the momentum going with “Mi Gal.” Hawkeye, who had chart success with “Money Making Guy,” added “Hey Roy,” a song full of personality and humor. Each artist and song helped make the Buff Riddim a true sound of 2014. The riddim’s mix of talent, production quality, and dancehall spirit made it a classic that year, and its influence can still be felt today.
