WATER GUN RIDDIM produced by RANCH ENTERTAINMENT 2014
Water Gun Overview
The Water Gun Riddim brought together some big names in dancehall for a lively 2014 release. Maniac delivered his track “Let Go,” showing his unique style on the riddim. Shaggy, an artist known worldwide for hits like “It Wasn’t Me,” teamed up with Shaki for “Need You In My Life,” adding a smooth, catchy vibe. Shaggy also joined forces with Sasco and J Sean for the energetic “Girl Yuh Bad.” Sasco, also known as Assassin, is respected for his sharp lyrics and has worked with international stars like Kanye West. J Sean, a British singer, is known for his chart-topping single “Down.” The bashment flow on this riddim gave selectors fresh energy for dancehall nights. Each artist brought their own voice, but the tracks all connected through the same lively, uptempo beat. The singjay style—a mix of singing and deejaying—helped each song fit together, creating a strong dancehall vibe. Behind the scenes, RANCH ENTERTAINMENT shaped the sound. Founded by Shaggy, the label has produced several notable projects and helped keep dancehall fresh for new audiences. RANCH ENTERTAINMENT is known for blending traditional dancehall with modern sounds, and the Water Gun Riddim is a good example of this approach. In 2014, this compilation proved the strength of Jamaican studios. The Water Gun Riddim showed how local talent and producers could make music that kept parties moving and dancehall culture alive, both at home and worldwide.
