WAR BUS RIDDIM produced by JA PRODUCTIONS 2016
War Bus Overview
In 2016, dancehall saw a surge of energy with the release of the War Bus Riddim, a project crafted by JA PRODUCTIONS. The label, led by producer Justus Arison, is known for bringing a modern edge to dancehall and has delivered popular riddims like Overproof. For War Bus Riddim, JA PRODUCTIONS focused on a tight, upbeat rhythm, giving selectors new fire for dancehall nights across Jamaica and beyond. The beat itself is lively and crisp, with a rolling bassline and sharp snares that make it perfect for sound system clashes. The recording process brought together a strong lineup of artists, each adding their own flavor to the riddim. Wasp’s “Kill Poverty” stands out with its urgent delivery and positive message. Kiprich, who is well-known for his hit “Telephone Ting,” brings his signature wit to “Nah Bruck,” riding the riddim with ease. Munga’s “No Obstacle” shows why he’s called the “Gangsta Ras,” blending conscious lyrics with streetwise style. Kalado, who gained attention with tracks like “Personally,” delivers emotion on “Bleed Out,” while Kurry Stain’s “Badmind Inna Dem” adds grit to the mix. Each track played a role in shaping the sound system cut, giving selectors a versatile weapon for the dance. The fresh sound and energy of War Bus Riddim captured the spirit of 2016, marking a moment when dancehall continued to innovate and excite crowds. The riddim’s impact is still felt in dancehall circles today.
