7. RVSSIAN
Rvssian-Riddim

It’s no shock that RVSSIAN has a featured riddim on this list (with a title that’s pretty easy to remember as well)—the Head Concussion Records chief has been one of dancehall’s most consistent producers, cranking out hits for Vybz Kartel, Gyptian and J. Capri. He’s got dembow and perreo in his blood, too, as apparent with Latin-flavored productions like this one and his recent work for Puerto Rican reggaeton star Farruko. Vybz Kartel and J Capri took the riddim with their combination “Mamacita” (DJ’s make sure you have that So Shifty edit), but Sean Paul and Konshens are ready to wine your girl in the batters circle, with “Front & Back” and “Shake,” respectively. – Deejay Theory
