WINE MANIA RIDDIM produced by CATEGORY 5 JAMAICA 2012
Wine Mania Overview
In 2012, a new bashment riddim started making waves across Jamaica’s dancehall scene. The journey began in the studio, where the yard beat was carefully arranged by a skilled bashment arranger who understood exactly how to keep the dancefloor moving. The producer behind the project, CATEGORY 5 JAMAICA, already had a reputation for dropping dancehall bangers that selectors loved. Known for his work with independent labels and for pushing energetic riddims to streaming platforms, CATEGORY 5 JAMAICA shaped this release with his signature touch. As soon as the riddim was ready, top artists were invited to voice their tracks. Truthfull stepped up with “Wine For Me,” bringing his smooth style that fans remember from his earlier collaborations on the dancehall circuit. Kibaki, who gained attention as part of the Monster Empire and for his hit “Hey Girl,” delivered “Wine Up,” adding his unique energy to the mix. Samboni followed with “Flingy Gimmi Gal,” a track that kept the party vibe strong. Lady Key Key, known in dancehall circles for her lively stage shows, added her flavor with “Just Start Party.” Fire Links, famous not just as a selector but also for his hit “Badman Forward Badman Pull Up,” contributed “Lock The Street,” making sure the riddim had a true bashment anthem. The release also included the instrumental “Wine Mania Riddim,” giving selectors room to get creative in the dance. From its first play in the yard to sound systems across the world, this bashment release quickly became a favorite.
