Advocate Overview

If you were in the dancehall scene in 2024, you know how the Advocate Riddim took over every party, street corner, and sound system. The riddim’s journey started in Kingston, where Di Genius Production—run by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor—crafted its pounding bass and crisp snares. Di Genius is no newcomer; he’s produced hits for big names like Mavado and Sean Paul, and his work helped shape the sound of modern dancehall. His label, Big Ship, stands as one of Jamaica’s most respected music houses. From the studio, the riddim moved fast. Selectors grabbed it for their sets, and soon the streets echoed with its anthems. The lineup was serious: Vybz Kartel brought his unmistakable energy to “Nuh Fraid a People,” a track that became an instant street favorite. Kartel, known for his massive hit “Fever,” showed once again why he’s a leader in the genre. Blak Ryno’s “Tell It to Dem Say” and Aidonia’s “Tell Dem” kept the momentum high. Aidonia, who made waves with his album “Dats a Trap,” delivered sharp lyrics that matched the riddim’s intensity. Anthony B, with “Funeral,” added his signature conscious style—fans remember him for classics like “Raid the Barn.” Busy Signal’s “Peace Treaty Put Off” brought his usual versatility; his 2012 album “Reggae Music Again” is still praised by critics. Other voices like Spragga Benz (“Tiny Tot”), Laden (“Money over War”), Elephant Man (“Wi Nuh Know Dem”), Chino Mcgregor (“Crawb Up”), and Bramma (“Dem Fool Fool”) completed the set, each adding their unique flavor. By the time the riddim dropped, it was more than a beat—it was the anthem of the year, marking its place in dancehall history.
