MADD REFEREE RIDDIM produced by PURE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS 2011
Madd Referee Overview
The Madd Referee Riddim brought a fresh energy to the dancehall scene in 2011. The rhythm is bold and hypnotic, with a driving bassline and crisp percussion that make it perfect for the sound system. The riddim’s groove is both aggressive and smooth, giving it a unique edge that works well in the dance. The project stands out for blending hardcore deejay cuts with smooth vocals. Bling Dawg’s “First Night” is a commanding opener, delivering sharp lyrics over the thumping beat. Cush Hunta’s “African Princess” brings a more melodic touch, celebrating roots and love with a catchy hook. Delly Ranx and Buju Banton combine forces on “Thunder Roll,” a powerful track that carries both artists’ signature styles—gritty and uplifting at once. Delly Ranx appears throughout the riddim, teaming up with Cam Phattaz on “Cum Quick” and “Spend Quick,” both tracks showing playful chemistry and rapid-fire flows. Another collaboration, “Can'T Beat You Up,” sees Delly Ranx alongside Froggy Maddsquad, delivering tough lyrics with a confident swagger. Delly Ranx also shines solo on “I Will Never,” a personal anthem on the riddim’s steady pulse. Other highlights include Esco’s “Nuh Folloe Back A Gal,” Galaxy P’s “Cry Fi Di Gal Dem,” and Gappy Ranks’ “Concrete,” each adding their own flavor to the project. Behind it all, PURE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS shaped the sound, blending the artists’ voices and the riddim into a cohesive bashment anthem. Known for producing quality dancehall releases, the label has helped define the genre’s sound in the 2010s. The Madd Referee Riddim remains an important part of dancehall history, showing how a single riddim can unite diverse artists and styles into a lasting dancefloor favorite.
