Banga Overview
When Banga Riddim dropped in 2021, dancehall fans reacted with excitement. The riddim’s powerful beat and catchy hooks quickly caught attention across Jamaica and beyond. Listeners praised its energy, and the tracks soon found their way into club playlists and sound system sessions. Each artist brought their own style to the project. Kibaki’s “Diamond in the Ruff” stood out with his smooth delivery, reminding fans of his earlier success with the hit “Go Down.” Munga Honorable delivered “Concrete Rose,” adding his well-known lyrical edge. Munga is respected in dancehall for his 2007 hit “Bad From Mi Born,” and his experience shines through on this track. Navino’s “Mi Nah Lef Mine” brought a confident flow, while Rytikal’s “One Day Good” added a reflective mood. Rytikal, who first gained major attention with “Cookie Jar” in 2020, continued to build his reputation with this release. Singer J’s “Always There” showcased his melodic voice, and Singing Sweet’s “Far Away” brought a touch of classic flavor, as Singing Sweet is known for his 1992 cover of “When I See You Smile.” The riddim’s arrangement was handled by a skilled bashment team, with CONCRETE RECORDZ at the helm. The label, known for pushing new talent and bold sounds, has built a reputation with previous projects like the “Concrete Jungle Riddim.” Their work on Banga Riddim added to their growing influence in the dancehall scene. In a year filled with strong bashment releases, Banga Riddim stood tall, earning its place as a favorite among both selectors and fans.
