Badness Riddim – Friendly Fire Music

BADNESS RIDDIM produced by FRIENDLY FIRE MUSIC 2010

Badness Overview

In 2010, the Badness Riddim dub release brought a new energy to roots reggae. The journey began in Birmingham, where the roots craftsman behind Friendly Fire Band shaped the sound with deep basslines and strong percussion. The riddim was built in a studio known for its authentic reggae production. Friendly Fire Music, the label and production team, played a key role. Founded in Birmingham, Friendly Fire Music has a history of supporting UK reggae and dancehall artists. Their work is known for clean, uplifting mixes and a focus on conscious lyrics. The riddim attracted top talent. City Kulture delivered “Rasta Way,” blending roots spirit with modern flow. Collie Weed added his voice with “Never Change,” a track that reflects his steady presence in UK reggae. Friendly Fire Band, the backbone of the riddim’s sound, laid down “Badness Riddim,” showing their skill in live instrumentation. Jah Marnyah, known for his strong performances and collaborations with UK producers, brought “First Time” to the project. Juggla’s “Forgive Them Father” added a thoughtful message, while Lion Art’s “Badness” and Murray Man’s “Dreada” kept the roots energy strong. Peter Spence & Bongo Chilli’s “Redemption Come” closed the set with soulful harmonies. This dub release captured the conscious vibes of 2010, and its roots energy still feels fresh today.
