Umbrella Overview
The bashment project that selectors rated highly in 2008 included standout tracks like Tasha — Cant Live So, Sanjay — Hard Fi Believe, and H.Music — Umberella. These songs quickly became favorites among fans and selectors alike, driving the popularity of the riddim across dances and sound clashes. Tasha’s track, Cant Live So, gained attention for its catchy hook and relatable lyrics. Tasha is known in dancehall circles for her energetic vocal delivery and consistent releases throughout the mid-2000s. Sanjay’s contribution to the project, Hard Fi Believe, resonated with audiences thanks to his clear lyrical style. Sanjay had earlier found success with hits like "Man of My Word" and is recognized for blending dancehall vibes with socially conscious themes. H.Music made an impact both as a performer and producer on this project. The song H.Music — Umberella stood out as a defining moment on the riddim. As a beat maker, H MUSIC has played a role behind many memorable productions from this era. H MUSIC is also known for operating an independent label that helped shape several dancehall releases in the late 2000s. All these elements were anchored by the Umbrella Riddim itself—a sound system cut that rang out yardwide during 2008’s dancehall season. Selectors saw it as a sure-shot pick at every session, and it soon became synonymous with high-energy parties all over Jamaica. The blend of strong artists, unique tracks, and the distinctive production from H MUSIC ensured its place in bashment history.
