WAITIN RIDDIM produced by NIYAHFYAH RECORDS 2021
Waitin Overview
In 2021, dancehall was full of big sounds and even bigger energy. The “yard session” vibe was alive, with beats and voices coming together right in the heart of the community. This was the setting for the Waitin Riddim tape, a project that helped shape the sound of dancehall that year. The yard was more than just a place—it was a feeling, a mix of raw talent and friendly competition, where each artist tried to bring their best. Behind this riddim was NIYAHFYAH RECORDS, a label known for pushing new sounds in dancehall. Over the past few years, NIYAHFYAH RECORDS has gained attention for its fresh approach and solid production. Their work on Waitin Riddim showed how a good producer can bring out the best in each artist, letting melodies and basslines shine without losing the hard edge of the dancehall beat. The artists on this tape all brought something special. English dropped “Real Badman,” a track that kept the energy high and the lyrics sharp. Schemer Don’s “Go Fe Dem” was another standout, showing why he’s respected for his tough delivery. Jahzu’s “Can'T Get Me Out” added a catchy hook and smooth flow. Chizmo Sting gave us “Follow,” while Jr Dynamite delivered “God First,” both bringing their own style to the mix. The Waitin Riddim tape stood tall among all the heavy bashment drops of 2021. It was a true team effort, with each artist and the producer coming together to make something that hit hard in the clubs and on the streets.
