Rytikal Ft. 255 – Badman Sitting

Rytikal and 255 link up on Badman Sitting, a stern dancehall single that keeps to the darker side of the genre. The title says plenty on its own: this is a badman record, built around bravado, street posture, and the sort of tension that has long suited Rytikal’s rough-edged delivery.

Rytikal, born Ryan McFarlane, has been one of the more recognisable voices in the newer wave of Jamaican dancehall, cutting through with a raw tone and songs that sit between confrontation and lived-in reflection. That style has carried him from breakout moments like Courage into a run of singles that keep him present in the street-music conversation. Here, his voice is matched by 255, whose feature adds another layer of energy to the cut.

The production comes from Skyscraper Stereo, with the release landing in 2026. The track feels built for a loud system: heavy drum pressure, a clipped, forward-moving bounce, and an arrangement that leaves room for the vocals to cut through without getting buried. The mood is taut rather than glossy, with the performance centered on posture, warning shots, and the kind of militant talk that drives hard dancehall records.

Badman Sitting fits neatly into Rytikal’s catalogue, but it also has enough bite to stand on its own as a current dancehall drop with real street intent.
