THE KING RIDDIM produced by BIRCH HILL PRODUCTION 2012
The King Overview
The sound system cut of The King Riddim is still remembered today as one of the pure dancehall sounds from 2012. Fans talk about how it brought raw street flavor to dancehall sessions, giving parties and dances a special energy. The riddim’s hard-hitting beat and clean mix made it a favorite for selectors and sound men across Jamaica and beyond. Looking back, the artists who voiced on The King Riddim each brought their own style. Flexx delivered "Pass Nine," a song that matches his reputation for sharp lyrics—Flexx is well known for his earlier work as part of T.O.K., one of Jamaica’s most successful dancehall groups. Alaine’s "Us Against The World" added a melodic touch; Alaine is respected for her soulful voice and hits like "No Ordinary Love." Voicemail, with "Cute & Ukubit," kept the party vibes high—a group known for dance anthems and energetic stage performances. I Octane’s "Still Na Run" brought conscious lyrics; I Octane’s album "Crying To The Nation" reached the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in 2012, showing his impact that year. Mr G & Chico teamed up for "Bad Like We," bringing a tough, streetwise sound. The sound engineer behind this cut helped capture the true dancehall vibe, making sure the riddim hit hard in every session. BIRCH HILL PRODUCTION, the producer, is known for working with both new and established artists, and for releasing several well-received riddims. Their work on The King Riddim helped the project stand out and keeps it fresh in dancehall fans’ memories today.
