BAD PEOPLE RIDDIM produced by GENIOUS PRODUCTIONS 2010
Bad People Overview
In 2010, the bashment rhythm shook the dancehall world. This was the year when the Bad People Riddim took over sound clashes and street parties across Jamaica. The beat was heavy, the energy was raw, and the music brought people together. Compared to other yard session tapes of its era, the bashment rhythm stood out for its power and style. Many riddims in those days were catchy, but this one was different. It had a deeper bass and sharper drums, making every track feel alive. The production was crisp, thanks to GENIOUS PRODUCTIONS. This label, also known as Di Genius, is led by Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor, a well-known producer in dancehall. GENIOUS PRODUCTIONS helped shape the sound of modern dancehall, working with top artists and earning millions of streams worldwide. Artists brought their best to the Bad People Riddim. Aidonia delivered “Bad People,” a track that showed his lyrical skill and tough attitude. Beenie Man, known for his hit song “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” gave fans “Run Mi Down” on this riddim, adding his signature style. Bramma’s “Ghetto Man Dream” spoke to the struggles and hopes of the youth. Busy Signal appeared twice, with “Bigger Heads” and “Gyal A Whine - Raw,” showing his range from social commentary to party vibes. Cham’s “Cause - Raw” and “Take It Outside - Raw” added more fire, while Chino’s “In The Street” and Elephant Man’s “Run Dem Weh - Raw” kept the energy high.
