Ground Zero Riddim – Dreday Production

Ground Zero came out of that early-2010s Dancehall moment when a sharp vocal lineup could carry a riddim as much as the knock of the beat itself, and Dreday Production leaned into that with Aidonia’s “Good Gyal Weh Bad” leading the charge alongside Jah Vinci’s “Badmind Ago Fall, ” Navino’s “Bun Yo Cyaah Stop, ” and Calado’s “Nuh Gal Cyaah Tear Mi. ” The cut that keeps pulling the ear is Aidonia’s anthem, which appears in both clean and explicit versions, a small sign of how hard the tune was pushed, while the rest of the set keeps the energy bruising and street-level with Deablo, Baby Tash, Hyah Slice, and the Flames I and Tony Frass combination filling out the frame. The release is dated December 14, 2011, and closes with Dreday Production’s own instrumental version of the Ground Zero riddim.
