BLACKFRO RIDDIM produced by BLACKER DREAD MUSIC 2023
Blackfro Overview
The bashment flow behind the Blackfro Riddim started in the studio, where BLACKER DREAD MUSIC worked to capture the raw energy of dancehall. Known for shaping UK reggae and dancehall since the 1980s, BLACKER DREAD MUSIC brought experience and a keen ear for what moves the crowd. The label’s legacy is built on pushing powerful sounds and championing big voices, making it a trusted name in the scene. The riddim’s creation was all about crafting a beat that would fill dance floors and keep feet moving. The studio team focused on tight drums and infectious melodies, layering sounds until the perfect bashment groove emerged. Once the riddim was ready, it was time to bring in some of dancehall’s most respected voices. Bounty Killer, a giant in the genre known for his hit “Look,” delivered “Brand New Body,” bringing his unmistakable style and streetwise lyrics. Busy Signal, who gained international attention with “Stay So,” kept the energy high on “High Up High Up.” Kqualiti added a fresh flavor with “Whine For Me Baby,” while Lukie D, famous for his smooth vocals, brought romance to the mix with “Coo Coo Love.” Earth Warrior, known for his cultural themes, celebrated island life with “My Jamaican Girl.” Each artist recorded their track over the bashment riddim, adding their own twist and personality. By the time Blackfro Riddim dropped in 2023, it was clear this was a standout release—one that held its own among the year’s biggest dancehall projects and kept the bashment spirit alive.
