Style and Badness Riddim – G3k Music

By the time G3K Music got to Style and Badness, the label was already turning out a steady run of dancehall riddims, and this one keeps that catalogue moving with a tougher, street-facing edge. The title track with Lethal sits right in the pocket, but the sharper moments come from the trio cut “Weh Di Money Deh” with Brite Tention and Lahjihkal and the brooding “Dark and Brave” with Ashure, both riding a lean, percussive rhythm that leaves plenty of space for the voices to cut through. G3K keeps his own presence in the mix across the project, which helps give the riddim a consistent stamp even as the pairings change from track to track. Issued in 2021, Style and Badness runs 12 tracks deep and pairs G3K with 12 different artists, ending with “Beware” alongside Checkdhat.
