Riot Squad Riddim – Massive B

RIOT SQUAD RIDDIM produced by MASSIVE B – 2011

Riot Squad Overview

In 2011, the Riot Squad Riddim arrived and made a strong mark on dancehall. Produced by the respected Massive B, this bashment rhythm quickly became a favorite at dancehall sessions. Massive B, led by Bobby Konders, is known for shaping the sound of New York’s reggae scene and for bringing fresh energy to the genre through his Massive B label. The sound engineer played a key role in giving Riot Squad Riddim its clean, sharp sound. The recording process focused on clarity and punch, making sure every artist’s voice cut through the heavy bass and crisp drums. This attention to detail helped the riddim stand out in crowded dancehall spaces, both in Jamaica and abroad. Artists brought their own style and energy to the rhythm. Baby Tash delivered “Bare Back” with confidence, adding a bold edge. Bramma’s “Don’t Touch Ma Money” gave the riddim a gritty, streetwise feel. Burro Banton’s “Defend My Own” brought a veteran’s authority, while Chino’s “24 Seven” added smooth, melodic touches. Ding Dong kept the party vibe alive with “Your So Nah,” showing why he’s a favorite in dancehall circles. Other artists also made their mark: Elephant Man’s “Riot,” Fambo’s “We No Sponge Pon Boy,” Gwalla’s “Guess What,” Khago’s “Hot Like West Palm Beach,” and Major Mackerel’s “Geet Weh” all added variety and flavor to the project. Riot Squad Riddim remains an important part of dancehall history. Its crisp production, skilled engineering, and strong lineup of artists helped it take over bashment sessions and secure its place as a modern classic.
