BACK ROAD RIDDIM produced by COLLEGE BOIZ 2017
Back Road Overview
The selector’s mix on the Back Road Riddim brought together a set of tracks that captured the raw spirit of dancehall in 2017. Each song on the mix had its own energy, with Dolla — Devin Di Dakta, Galong Bad — Elephant Man, Dont Have A Clue — Macka Diamond, Izzy Wine — Razor B, and Lockdown — Qnique all riding the riddim in their own style. Dolla’s collaboration with Devin Di Dakta stood out for its catchy flow. Devin Di Dakta is known for his 2016 Grammy nomination with the Sly & Robbie Presents... Reggae for Her album, and this partnership brought extra attention to the track. Galong Bad teamed up with Elephant Man, one of dancehall’s most energetic performers. Elephant Man is famous worldwide for hits like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” and his presence on the riddim gave the mix a strong boost. Dont Have A Clue worked with Macka Diamond, a veteran in dancehall who has been active since the early 2000s and is well known for her hit “Dye Dye.” Izzy Wine joined forces with Razor B, who gained popularity with the song “Hot Up.” Lockdown’s track with Qnique added another fresh voice to the selection. The riddim itself was crafted by COLLEGE BOIZ, a producer group with a reputation for creative and modern dancehall beats. COLLEGE BOIZ have made a mark with their work on the College Boiz Productions label, pushing new sounds into the scene.
