Torch Overview

In 2011, the Torch Riddim brought a raw street sound to dancehall. Produced by SKITTA PRODUCTION -, this riddim stood out at yard sessions and parties. The beats were heavy and the energy was high, different from many of the smoother, digital riddims that were popular at the time. Torch Riddim reminded fans of the classic dancehall feeling, with a modern twist. The producer, SKITTA PRODUCTION -, is known for creating hard-hitting dancehall tracks that keep the roots alive. Their work has gained respect in the dancehall community, especially for bringing new and veteran artists together on the same riddim. Each artist on the Torch Riddim brought something special. Chezidek delivered “Never Talk About It,” adding his conscious lyrics and soulful voice. Chezidek is well-known for his hit “Leave The Trees,” which made waves on reggae charts. Cronsyncro’s “Fight Fi The Hype” gave the riddim a message about realness in the dancehall scene. Cutty Corn’s “Salvation” added energy and style, while Fyah Ball’s “Tired A Struggle” spoke about life’s hardships, a theme many fans connect with. Shakespear’s “Touch Di Road” brought the vibes of Kingston streets to the riddim. Compared to other yard session tapes from 2011, Torch Riddim was more direct and raw.
