UNRELATED RIDDIM produced by LITTLE THUNDER MUSIC 2017
Unrelated Overview
In 2017, the Unrelated Riddim took over dancehall parties across Jamaica and beyond. Released by LITTLE THUNDER MUSIC, this compilation quickly became a yard anthem, with its bold bashment rhythm setting the tone for a new wave of dancehall sound. LITTLE THUNDER MUSIC, an independent label known for its fresh approach and solid production, delivered a project that captured the energy of the moment. A big part of the riddim’s success comes from the work behind the mixing board. The unnamed engineer crafted a sound that was both gritty and clean, allowing each artist’s voice to shine. The recording process focused on keeping the energy high, with live sessions and careful layering to bring out the best in every track. The riddim featured four standout artists, each leaving their mark. Hawkeye, known for his hit “Money Making Guy,” brought a playful swagger to “Caribbean Girl.” His delivery matched the rhythm’s upbeat drive, making the track a favorite at dances. Kaisha Lee’s “Live It Up” added a soulful, uplifting touch. Kaisha Lee, who has performed internationally and earned praise for her reggae covers, brought a smooth, melodic edge that balanced the riddim’s rawness. Kayla Allen’s “Unruly Wine” turned up the heat, with her confident vocals and catchy hooks driving the bashment vibe. Scroogie closed things out with “Prayer Time,” adding a roots-inspired message that grounded the project.
