XO XO RIDDIM (DANCEHALL) – NYCE NATION RECORDS 2019
Xo Xo Overview
In 2019, street anthems filled the air with energy and excitement. The Xo Xo Riddim became a base for these anthems, echoing through dancehall parties and sound system clashes. The riddim’s beats were heavy, catchy, and easy for crowds to move to. Selectors, known for picking the right tracks to keep parties alive, praised the mix for its bashment-ready tunes. The music felt fresh but stayed true to the street culture that shaped dancehall. Destra, known for her powerful voice and stage presence, brought her song "So Real" to the riddim. She is a celebrated soca artist from Trinidad and Tobago, famous for hits like "Lucy" and for winning multiple soca awards. Her contribution added a strong, anthemic feel to the release. Jamesy P delivered "Banga," adding his unique style. He is best known for his 2005 hit "Nookie," which brought him international attention. Carter’s "Boom Off" kept the energy high, with a track that fit perfectly in any party setting. Sadiki & Tim Tim teamed up for "Go Down," blending their voices over the riddim’s infectious groove. Nikki Brooks kept the bashment vibes strong with "Tusty Bumpa," a track that selectors loved to play for the crowd. Each artist brought their own style, but the riddim tied them together, creating a release that stood out in 2019. The Xo Xo Riddim remains a reminder of that year’s dancehall fire, with songs that still spark memories of street parties and club nights.
