Highland Overview
In 2015, the Highland Riddim became a must-play at dancehall parties, remembered for its energy and style. The riddim was arranged and produced by FEDERATION SOUND, a respected name in the dancehall world. FEDERATION SOUND, known for their work since the late 1990s, helped shape the sound of modern dancehall, pushing out big tunes and mixtapes that reached fans worldwide. The Highland Riddim stood out for its lively, bashment vibe. The recording process brought together top artists, each adding their unique touch to the bashment flow. Vybz Kartel’s “Sumn Sumn” was a party favorite, with his signature delivery riding the riddim perfectly.
