Bulldozer Overview

In 2022, the yard beat echoed through clubs and street corners across Jamaica. This sound, built by DUTTY RECORDS, brought a fresh energy to dancehall. The riddim mixed classic dancehall with hints of hip hop and afrobeats, showing how the genre can blend with other styles. Horn riffs and deep bass lines gave the tracks a powerful feel, perfect for both playlists and sound systems. DUTTY RECORDS, known for their work in modern dancehall, shaped the sound of the riddim. The label has produced several popular tracks and is respected for pushing new talent into the spotlight. Delly Ranx, a veteran in the scene, brought his signature style to the riddim with “Baby Mother.” Delly Ranx is well known for his hit “Pon Di Corner” with Voice Mail, which helped him gain international recognition. Iamroyston added his own flavor with “Uh Huh,” riding the beat with confidence. Stein and Slimazz teamed up for “You Know What I Mean?” showing strong chemistry and streetwise lyrics. Bad Spurr’s “Way Of Living” and Nchann Soriano’s “Live Pon Mi Name” offered different perspectives, each artist using the riddim to share their unique stories. The riddim also featured Uman with “Pina Colada,” Big Shenn’s “That Matters,” and Reds and Jr. Reds with “Dem Know We Bad,” all adding their voices to the mix. Cesar Js closed out the set with “Vitamina,” blending Spanish lyrics with the yard beat. Looking back, the yard beat of 2022 captured the spirit of dancehall—bold, creative, and always moving forward.
