Death Warrant Overview
In 2016, a group of dancehall artists gathered in the studio to record on the Death Warrant Riddim. The session was led by DAMAGE MUSIC, a producer known for his sharp beats and fresh sound. DAMAGE MUSIC, who has worked with many top Jamaican acts, is respected for pushing dancehall forward and releasing music through his own label, Damage Musiq. The creative direction behind the Death Warrant Riddim was clear: capture the rebellious spirit of the time. The riddim’s heavy bass and quick snares gave each artist space to show their unique energy. Braintear Spookie brought raw power to the track “Action Killa.” His delivery matched the riddim’s bold sound, making the song stand out. Kapella Don followed with “Dem A Wicked,” using sharp lyrics to highlight the struggles and realities of street life. OCG’s “Mumma Bawl” added emotion, telling a story that many listeners could connect with. Ryme Minista, known for his lyrical skill and strong presence in the dancehall scene, made an impact with “Bad Citizen.” His song fit perfectly with the riddim’s tough edge. Ghanaian star Shatta Wale joined with “Real Badman,” bringing his international fame—he is one of Africa’s most streamed dancehall artists and has won multiple awards in Ghana. The Death Warrant Riddim became one of the bashment highlights of 2016. Each artist gave the project their own style, and DAMAGE MUSIC’s production kept the energy high. The set still sounds bold and fresh today.
