BAD MAN TING RIDDIM produced by 2009
Bad Man Ting Overview
In the late 2000s, dancehall clubs in Jamaica and beyond were full of energy. Riddims with hard basslines and catchy hooks set the mood for parties and street dances. The Bad Man Ting riddim, released in 2009, stood out in this scene. It blended tough, hardcore vibes with melodies that made people want to move. By 2019, selectors were still using this riddim to show the power of Jamaican studios. The riddim’s strength came from the mix of unique voices. Ras Myrdak’s “Lets Ride” brought his signature style, known from his work in the underground dancehall scene. I Adan’s “Boom Pon It” added another layer, with a catchy chorus that stuck in your head. Mr Peppa, who gained attention for his hit “Talk,” delivered “Hard Loving” with his usual energy and lyrical skill. Other artists on the riddim also left their mark. School Boy’s “System” tackled heavy topics, while G Maffiah’s “Beat It Pon Dem” kept the dancefloor moving with a fast, rhythmic flow. Each track fit together, showing the unity and creativity possible when different artists work over the same beat. This selector’s mix was a clear example of what makes yard studios so strong. By blending hardcore dancehall with hooks that everyone could sing along to, the Bad Man Ting riddim became both a club favorite and a soundtrack for street parties. Its lasting appeal showed how powerful collaboration and good production can be in dancehall music.
