BADDIS RIDDIM (RAGGA DANCEHALL) – HI-PROFILE RECORDS
Baddis Overview
The street anthem base for this dancehall riddim started in the studio with a strong creative vision. The studio hand guided the session, making sure every beat and bassline matched the energy needed for the dancehall scene. The team worked carefully, layering sounds until the rhythm was just right. The result was a riddim that quickly became the heartbeat of clubs across Jamaica. Chico brought his own style to the project with “Grudgeful.” His delivery was sharp, and his lyrics fit perfectly with the riddim’s bold sound. Lady Saw and Tok teamed up for “Hardcore Lover.” Their collaboration was powerful, with Lady Saw’s commanding vocals and Tok’s harmonies creating a track that stood out on dance floors everywhere. Beenie Man added his hit “Number One,” showing why he’s such a respected name in dancehall. His flow matched the riddim’s energy, making the song a favorite for fans and DJs alike. Buccaneer’s “Badman Story” told a tale with attitude, his unique voice cutting through the heavy bass. Frisco Kid’s “Fire” brought even more heat, his energetic performance lighting up the riddim. General Degree contributed two tracks, “Bag A Tings” and “Miss Gotty,” each bringing a different flavor but both rooted in dancehall tradition. Hawkeye’s “Ku Gal” and Mr Vegas’s “Cant Take My Eyes Off You” added variety, while Vegas also gave us “Jacket,” another memorable tune. This street anthem base is still important in dancehall history. Its powerful sound and unforgettable songs keep it alive in the hearts of fans and in the clubs where it first made its mark.
