Black Madonna Overview
In 2017, the Black Madonna Riddim stood out as a strong dancehall release. The riddim blended a street anthem base with hardcore vibes and catchy hooks, making it popular among dancehall selectors and fans. The production came from KALILIKA | DIMMIE JOE MUZIK, a producer and label known for pushing fresh sounds in the dancehall scene.
