TEC 9 RIDDIM produced by DEATH LAND RECORDS 2016
Tec 9 Overview
The yard beat that powered the Tec 9 Riddim started in a small Kingston studio, built from the ground up by a tight team of track builders. The riddim’s raw, pulsing energy came from deep inside the heart of dancehall, echoing through sound systems and clubs across Jamaica in 2016. Behind the release was DEATH LAND RECORDS, a label with a reputation for bold, streetwise dancehall projects. Known for pushing new voices into the spotlight, DEATH LAND RECORDS had already made waves with earlier releases that caught the attention of DJs and fans alike. Their focus on authentic singjay style helped the Tec 9 Riddim stand out in a busy year for dancehall. The riddim featured a lineup of rising and respected artists. Lyreecal Poet brought his sharp delivery to “Run Ova,” a track that quickly became a dancefloor favorite. Little Gem, already known for her breakout song “Badmind,” added her powerful voice to the mix. Matic’s “Real Badman” showed off his lyrical skills, while Tkay’s “Things Start Gwan” gave the riddim a fresh, energetic twist. Each artist brought their own style, but together they created a sound that captured the spirit of the dancehall scene. The Tec 9 Riddim didn’t just fill the clubs—it became a touchstone of dancehall culture in 2016, remembered for its driving beat and the talent it showcased. Even now, the yard beat from that year still feels alive every time the riddim drops.
