TROPIKANA RIDDIM produced by GOLDMIND 2017
Tropikana Overview
In 2017, the Tropikana Riddim brought a new wave of energy to dancehall parties and sound systems across Jamaica and beyond. The riddim was crafted by producer GOLDMIND, a name respected in the dancehall scene for his sharp ear and creative work. GOLDMIND is known for his label, Goldmind Productions, which has released several popular riddims and helped launch new talent into the spotlight. Tropikana Riddim quickly became a favorite among sound system selectors. Its heavy bass and fast-paced drums made it perfect for big speakers and lively crowds. At yard parties, the riddim’s cut would often start a chain reaction, with MCs and dancers taking over the floor. This sound system energy is a big part of dancehall culture, where a strong riddim can make or break a party. The project featured a line-up of artists who each brought something different. Kenne Blessin’s “Yeah Yeh” was a standout, adding catchy hooks and smooth delivery. Dre Don’s “Ride” kept the momentum high with his unique style. Starr Blacks appeared twice, with “2 Times A Day” and “Times A Day,” showing his versatility and strong presence. Chunky Sklack’s “Dem Nuh Real” and Vyruss’ “Ready When Yu Ready” both added to the riddim’s tough street vibe. Tropikana Riddim proved just how powerful Jamaican studios could be in 2017. With GOLDMIND’s production and the energy of these artists, it remains a memorable moment in sound system history.
