BADD CURRENCY RIDDIM produced by R4NYTE 2017
Badd Currency Overview
In 2017, dancehall music in Jamaica was full of energy and change. The youth wanted music that spoke to their struggles and hopes. Parties, street dances, and sound system clashes were everywhere. The Badd Currency Riddim was born in this lively time. It quickly became a favorite at bashments and yard parties, capturing the rebellious spirit of the year. The riddim’s sound was shaped by R4NYTE, a producer known for his sharp ear and bold ideas. R4NYTE is recognized for his work with the label Bashment City and has produced several underground hits. He was praised for bringing together different voices and letting each artist shine. With Badd Currency Riddim, R4NYTE showed his skill in arranging beats that made people want to dance. Many artists added their own style to the riddim. Iyara’s track, "currency," stood out for its catchy hook and real-life lyrics. Iyara is also known for his earlier work with the Alliance crew, led by Bounty Killer. Turbulence brought his strong voice and message to "don’t quit." Turbulence is famous for the hit "Notorious," which charted internationally and made him a household name in reggae and dancehall. Road elf’s "wrong bredda" gave the riddim a streetwise edge, while Supa hype’s "twerk" brought the party vibes. R4nyte also joined in with "try again," showing his talent as both producer and performer.
