July 1, 2009, Kingston, Jamaica,  The streets are buzzing with talk about Natalie Storm’s new radio hit, Recession Special on the vibesy Hindu riddim.

“It has a definite buzz and I am getting crazy love from the radio  disc jockeys, the sound systems ah push it because of the ‘recession  special’ talk, and it has made it to a few mixtapes as well so it is shaping up to be a nice bouncy Summer song,” she said.

 Not content with the success of her newest single, Natalie Storm is locked away in the studio, dabbling in the world of production as  well. Over the last few weeks, she has been fine tuning two projects, a breezy dancehall throwback riddim deliciously entitled Cheese Trix,  and another project, the Firestorm project which features musical heavyweights such as Sizzla, Macka Diamond, and Ward 21, as well as relative  newcomers such as Cordel ‘Scatta’ Burrell's new deejay find, Rage and Magnum Dancehall Queen Tiki.

"The hardest thing about working on your own production is realizing how time consuming it really is. But what I love is the complete, creative freedom to make music to please myself, and I hope it pleases others as well," she said.

She is leaning towards putting out the Cheese Trix riddim as her highly anticipated production debut on her Maxine Music Label. The decision is based on the early buzz in the streets generated by a breakout Pot a Bubble song by Mr. Easy that is already an insider sensation in music circles.

“The Cheese Trix ah go hard, it have a different vibe so far than Firestorm because it has more of an original dancehall feel, and because so much R & B out there in dancehall, we’re bringing back the good old hardcore dancehall days,” Natalie said. "Dylan my manager tested the riddim on the Swatch Sound System just to hear how it a beat. It sound a way!! The riddim a go hard!!"

The Cheese Trix features other standout tracks such as Tiki’s Five Cent, Macka Diamond’s Man Problem, Natalie Storm jumps in with God Bless Me. Also featured on the riddim are Charlie Blacks, newcomer Rage and Frisco Kid aka Ancient Monarchy.
