RAE RIDDIM produced by WARD 21 MUSIC 2007

Rae Overview

In 2007, the bashment flow was the sound of dancehall parties across Jamaica and beyond. This energetic style was a favorite for selectors and dancers, bringing fresh life to the dancefloor. At the center of this movement was WARD 21 MUSIC, a production team known for their hard-hitting riddims and clever lyrics. WARD 21 MUSIC started in the late 1990s and quickly became famous for shaping the dancehall sound with tracks like “Badda Badda.” On the Rae Riddim, T.O.K brought their unique touch with “Then And Now,” featuring Flexx. T.O.K is well known for their hit single “Footprints,” which made waves in 2005, and they have been nominated for MOBO Awards. Their harmonies and energy always stand out. Vybz Kartel’s “Beat’n Beat’n” also rides the riddim with his signature style. Kartel is one of dancehall’s most influential artists, with major hits like “Clarks” and “Fever.” His lyrical skill and bold personality have kept him in the spotlight for years. Ward 21 themselves add “Here I Come” to the mix. As both artists and producers, Ward 21 have released several albums and are respected for their creativity and lasting impact on the genre. Even now, this bashment flow sparks memories of 2007, when dancehall was full of excitement and new ideas.
