The Truth Riddim – Various Artists

THE TRUTH RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2011

In 2011, the dancehall scene was full of energy, and The Truth Riddim stood out with its sound system cut. This version was made for the dance floor, and it showed. The bass was deep and the drums were sharp, making it perfect for big speakers at yard sessions. Compared to other session tapes from the same time, this cut had a cleaner mix and more punch. Many tapes from that era sounded rough or muddy, but the sound engineer here made sure every vocal and instrument was clear. The riddim featured strong performances from artists like C Money, who brought his song "Life Is So Real" with powerful lyrics. Footsy delivered "Right Movtivation, " showing the same drive that made him known in the UK grime and dancehall scenes. Jiah’s "Suffering" added emotion, while Meeshach’s "Weh Me Haffi Do" and Nicha B’s "Wan Reach Far" kept the energy high. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, has a history of working with different talents and blending styles. Their projects often get attention for mixing classic and modern sounds. On this riddim, the producer’s touch helped each artist shine. Overall, this sound system cut was a highlight of 2011 dancehall. It balanced old-school vibes with a new feel, making it a favorite at dances and a strong example of the era’s best session tapes.
