The Quiz Riddim produced by Red Stain Music 2024
The Quiz Overview
The journey of the Quiz Riddim began in the heart of Kingston, where the unique energy of the yard inspired a new dancehall sound for 2024. Bashment arranger DJ Marvo worked closely with the musicians, blending old-school drum patterns with fresh digital touches. The riddim’s creation was a careful process, balancing classic dancehall vibes with a modern edge that would stand out on both radio and sound system sessions. At the center of the project was Red Stain Music, a label known for its focus on authentic Jamaican sounds and innovative production. Red Stain Music has steadily built a reputation for quality releases and has gained attention for its ability to bring together top local talent. Their earlier work on the “Street Code” riddim helped introduce new voices to the dancehall scene, and with Quiz Riddim, they continued this tradition. The compilation brought together three standout artists, each bringing their own style to the riddim. KnackaDon delivered “My Apologies,” a track that showcased his lyrical confidence. KnackaDon is recognized for his high-energy performances and was previously featured on the “Uptop Boss” remix alongside Teejay. Lyry King’s “Reasons” added a smooth, melodic touch, highlighting his skill as a vocalist. Lyry King is also known for collaborating with international artists, including his appearance on the 2021 single “Global Link Up.” Maine D'Alchemist rounded out the set with “Pain Land,” delivering raw emotion and storytelling. Looking back, the Quiz Riddim stood out in 2024 as a project that kept dancehall’s spirit alive, blending hardcore deejay cuts with smooth vocals and ensuring the yard beat remained strong.
