Generation Edge Overview
In 2010, dancehall selectors were always searching for new sounds to light up their parties. Generation Edge Riddim quickly became a top pick for DJs.

Open Ear is known for pushing boundaries in dancehall production. The label has worked on projects that blend different musical influences, and Generation Edge Riddim is a clear example of this creative spirit. This project featured strong performances from several well-known artists. Blak Ryno delivered “Watch Ova Me,” showing the streetwise style that made him popular after his time with the Portmore Empire. Bounty Killer, a giant in dancehall and a Grammy winner for his work with No Doubt on “Hey Baby,” added “God Will Always Be There.” His presence brought weight and experience to the riddim. Ishawna’s “I Am Tha One” showed her lyrical power, while Iyara gave fans two tracks: “Free Up The General” and “Nuh Mek Di Devil Win.” Mr G teamed up with Gottyo for “Rice & Peas Ft.
