ZIG RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2010
Zig Overview
In 2010, dancehall was driven by riddims that brought energy to the streets, and Zig Riddim fit right in. Its base was bold, rhythmic, and perfect for the bashment scene that year. The riddim’s street anthem vibe helped both new and established artists get noticed. Behind the sound was an engineer known for crisp, heavy mixes that let each artist shine. This clarity helped the riddim stand out in a crowded dancehall market. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, has a history of bringing together strong lineups on their releases. Their productions often appear on playlists and have gained streams across digital platforms, making them a recognized name in the dancehall community. Buju Banton led with “Want You Gal,” showing the power that made him famous with albums like “’Til Shiloh.” Capleton’s “She Hotta” brought his trademark fiery delivery; Capleton is known for hits like “Tour” and remains a staple in reggae and dancehall. I Faithfull’s “Serious” added a fresh voice, while Jigsy King, who once scored big with “Gi Mi Di Weed,” delivered “Birthday Suit.” Kulcha Knox, long respected in roots circles, brought “Have Dem Looking” to the mix. With these tracks, the Zig Riddim kept dancehall buzzing in 2010, giving both veterans and new voices a place to shine.
