Released toward the end of December 2014 and finally available on itunes, stream below a a new dancehall reggae riddim from Jamaica, titled ‘Full Speed Riddim’.
Full Speed Riddim arrives as a strong reminder of how Jamaica continues to set the pace for global dancehall culture. True to its name, the riddim carries an aggressive yet polished energy, driven by hard-hitting drums, sharp synth patterns, and a tempo built for sound system clashes and late-night club rotations. Dutty Rock Muzick clearly aimed for impact, crafting a production that feels modern while still respecting the raw foundation that dancehall fans expect.
What makes this project stand out is the chemistry between the artists riding the riddim. Each voice brings a distinct personality, allowing the compilation to feel dynamic rather than repetitive. Vanessa Bling, also known as Gaza Slim, commands attention with Supernova, delivering confident lyrics and a performance that reinforces her reputation as one of dancehall’s freshest female voices. Her ability to balance melody with attitude fits perfectly within the riddim’s fast-paced structure.
Vanessa’s journey from Portmore to international recognition adds depth to her contribution. Being shaped under the guidance of Vybz Kartel during the Portmore Empire era placed her at the heart of one of dancehall’s most influential movements. That foundation is evident in her delivery, which blends lyrical sharpness with street credibility. The legacy of that camp—alongside artists like Popcaan and Tommy Lee Sparta—continues to echo through modern dancehall, and Full Speed Riddim taps directly into that lineage.
As the riddim circulates across streaming platforms and sound systems, it positions itself as more than a seasonal release. It reflects the relentless forward motion of Jamaican music, where producers and artists constantly push boundaries without losing their roots. Full Speed Riddim is built for momentum, and it’s clear this project is meant to be played loud, shared widely, and remembered as part of dancehall’s evolving soundtrack.

Known globally for pushing Jamaican music into mainstream spaces while staying rooted in authentic dancehall energy, Sean Paul brings a seasoned ear to the production side.
Sean Paul steps in not only as a producer but also as an artist, delivering his signature confident flow that longtime fans instantly recognize.
Denyque adds a smooth, melodic contrast, bringing emotional depth and versatility to the project. Mr. Vegas injects veteran energy and crowd-ready charisma, reminding listeners why his voice remains a staple in dancehall culture.
Konshens continues to represent the new generation of global-ready dancehall, blending sharp hooks with international appeal, while Cham delivers lyrical precision rooted in classic Jamaican sound.
