Desperado Riddim – Defenders

DESPERADO RIDDIM produced by 2019 – DEFENDERS

Desperado Overview

When the selector dropped the Desperado Riddim in 2019, the dance floor came alive. The rhythm is built for movement, with rolling percussion and a steady bassline that keeps dancers on their feet. It’s the kind of beat that makes people want to stay out late, moving in time with the music. The vibe is both smooth and energetic, making it a favorite for parties and street dances. A big part of the riddim’s appeal comes from the artists who voiced it. Renee Six Thirty and Destiny Sparta teamed up for “Feeling Horny” and again for “Feeling Horny (Part 2),” both tracks bringing a confident, playful energy. Destiny Sparta is known for her bold delivery and has worked with other big names in dancehall, earning respect for her unique sound. Jovi Dipree’s “Ninja” adds a layer of grit, while Teejay’s “Desparado” stands out with his signature flow. Teejay, already known for hits like “Uptop Boss,” brings his recognizable style to the riddim, giving it extra weight. Dejavu’s “Ride” offers a catchy hook, and Militant’s “Real Good” rounds out the set with a strong, positive vibe. Behind the scenes, the bashment arranger’s job was to keep the energy high and the transitions smooth, making sure every artist’s voice fit perfectly into the mix. The riddim’s production made it easy for selectors to blend tracks and keep the party moving. Even years after its release, selectors still reach for the Desperado Riddim.
