WAISTED RIDDIM produced by VICTORY ONE PRODUCTIONS 2007
Waisted Overview
The Waisted Riddim compilation brought together ten strong tracks that made noise in the 2007 dancehall scene. The set opens with Blingaz Crew — War Nuh Nice, a hard-hitting tune that sets the tone for the whole riddim. Chezidek delivers Innocent People, using his well-known conscious style. Daddy Merry follows with Time To Live Up, bringing energy and urgency to the project. Insi’s You're My Everything adds a melodic touch, while Ion I’s Love Jah gives a rootsy, positive message. Other tracks on the riddim include Jah Moore — When Man Hungry, Jenuine Links — Dem Caan Clone Me, Lyrics Factory — Naah Plant, Mikey General — Rise Up, and Milton Blake — Blaze The Fire More. Each artist brings their own flavor, but all ride the same bass-heavy instrumental, keeping the compilation tight and unified. Chezidek, known for his hit "Call Pon Dem," is respected for his conscious lyrics and international reach. Mikey General, who appears on Rise Up, has had a long career in reggae and worked with artists like Luciano. The riddim was arranged by a bashment specialist, giving it a sound system edge. Production comes from VICTORY ONE PRODUCTIONS, a label active in the 2000s dancehall movement. Their work on Waisted Riddim helped push new talent and kept the riddim culture alive in 2007. For fans, this compilation stands as a snapshot of that year’s dancehall energy.
