TSUNAMI RIDDIM produced by Andre Solid for HOT COFFEE MUSIC 2010
Tsunami Overview
In 2010, the Tsunami Riddim made a big impact on dancehall music. The project was produced by Andre Solid, who runs the HOT COFFEE MUSIC label. Andre Solid is known for his sharp production style and for working with both new and established artists in Jamaica’s dancehall scene. The riddim’s recording process focused on blending tough, hardcore drum patterns with catchy melodies, making it perfect for sound system clashes and dance parties. The beat itself is full of energy, with layers of percussion and bass that grab attention right away. Andre Solid’s approach was to keep the vibe raw but still add hooks that listeners could remember. This made the Tsunami Riddim stand out in a year filled with strong dancehall releases. The artists who voiced on the riddim each brought something unique. Bugle’s “We Know We Friends” delivers his thoughtful lyrics and strong presence, much like his well-known single “Journey.” Chucky Star brings a streetwise edge with “Call To You,” while Delly Ranx, famous for his hit “Pon Di Corner” with Mega Banton, adds a message with “Always Have A Condom.” Gappy Ranks, who gained international attention with his album “Put The Stereo On,” brings fire with “Cannon” and “Tsunami.” Kibaki, known for his energetic style, keeps the pace high with “Hands Up.” Many selectors and fans say the Tsunami Riddim’s sound system cut defined the bashment energy of 2010.
