Stinkin Water Overview

In 2008, the Stinkin Water Riddim arrived on the dancehall scene, quickly becoming a favorite for selectors and sound systems. The journey began in the studio with the creative minds at WARD 21 MUSIC, a production powerhouse known for shaping the sound of modern dancehall. WARD 21 MUSIC, formed by the group Ward 21 out of Kingston, had already made waves with hits like "Badda Badda Riddim," and their influence was clear in the crisp, heavy-hitting beat of Stinkin Water. The riddim took shape with energy and drive, crafted specifically for the dance floor. When the sound system cut was finished, it was tested at dances across Jamaica, earning instant pull-ups and rewinds. The bassline and drums were perfectly balanced, giving DJs the power to move any crowd. The artists on Stinkin Water Riddim brought their own fire. Assassin delivered "Baddness Naah Wear," showing the lyrical skill that made him a standout in dancehall. Bounty Killa, already famous for anthems like "Look," stormed in with "Warlord Waryard," reminding everyone why he’s called the Warlord. Eggy’s "War Is On" added grit, while Elephant Man’s "Wi Nuh Hear Dem" brought the high-energy flair he’s known for from hits like "Pon De River, Pon De Bank." Mr Peppa’s "Naah Fren Dem" rounded out the set, giving the riddim a full range of voices. Even years later, Stinkin Water Riddim still gets heavy rotation, proving its lasting power in bashment culture.
