Riddim

The music genre "Riddim" originates from within the reggae and dancehall scenes, characterized by its rhythmic intensity and unique bass-centric beats. Unlike traditional tracks where each artist tends to have their original instrumentals, a distinguishing hallmark of riddim involves multiple artists voicing over the same instrumental track or "riddim." This practice showcases a diverse array of vocal styles and lyrical themes, from love and social justice to party anthems, all set against a backdrop of compellingly repetitive and bass-heavy beats. Artists like Tifa, Dexta Daps, and Gaza Slim, among others, embody the genre's eclectic and vibrant nature. They bring a mix of smooth vocals, deejaying, and sometimes rapid-fire lyrical delivery, illustrating riddim's capacity to be both deeply reflective and energetically danceable, solidifying its unique place within the broader Caribbean music landscape.
