ENVY RIDDIM (BRUTAL TRACKS) 2009
Envy Overview
In 2009, the bashment flow was strong in dancehall music. Parties and street dances were full of energy, and the music reflected the rebellious mood of the youth. The riddims of this time were bold and lively, with hard-hitting beats that made people want to move. One of the standout riddims from that year was built with a focus on bouncy rhythms and catchy hooks. The track builder created a sound that was easy to recognize, and selectors loved to play it at parties. The riddim’s mix of energy and melody helped it stand out among other releases from the same era. Several artists made their mark on this riddim. Alabama brought a fresh sound with "brand new," giving listeners an upbeat and confident vibe. Natural black, known for his hit "Far From Reality," delivered "regular," showing his smooth vocal style and thoughtful lyrics. Brains added edge with "bun bat ty man," a track that carried a message with forceful delivery. Jory’s "no time to play" kept the tempo high, fitting perfectly with the party atmosphere. Grudge contributed "badmind and envy," a song that spoke about real-life struggles and jealousy, themes common in dancehall. Each artist brought their own style, making the riddim feel both unified and diverse. Years later, selectors still draw for this 2009 mix. The riddim’s lively sound and memorable tracks continue to bring excitement to dancehall parties, showing the lasting power of the bashment flow from that era.
