THIRSTY RIDDIM produced by SALAAM REMI 2019
Thirsty Overview
In 2019, the Thirsty Riddim became one of the most talked-about dancehall releases, echoing through clubs and dancehalls across Jamaica. The riddim’s hypnotic beat and strong street anthem base captured the true bashment energy that defined the year. Behind the mixing board was Salaam Remi, a respected producer known for his work with artists like Nas and Amy Winehouse. Salaam Remi’s production style is famous for blending classic reggae with modern sounds, and he brought this same skill to Thirsty Riddim. The recording process was tight and professional, with each artist delivering vocals that matched the riddim’s energy. Remi’s attention to detail on the mixing board made sure every track sounded crisp and powerful, ready for both sound systems and playlists. The artists on Thirsty Riddim each brought their own style to the street anthem base. Busta Rhymes & Majah Hype teamed up for "Thirsty," delivering fast rhymes and high energy. Notch, known for his hit "Nuttin Nuh Go So" with Notch & Born Jamericans, added a smooth flow on "It's Never Enough." Spragga Benz, whose album "Chiliagon" topped the UK Reggae Chart in 2019, gave a rootsy vibe on "Organic." Alex (From T.O.K) dropped "Look Good," bringing the signature T.O.K vocal flair. Nyanda, formerly of Brick & Lace, delivered "No I Never," adding her dancehall-pop touch. Ghost’s "Roll Up" rounded out the selection with a soulful edge.
