YOU’VE BEEN BAD RIDDIM produced by REALITY SHOCK x REALITY CHANT
Youve Been Bad Overview
The steady one drop rhythm behind "You’ve Been Bad Riddim" came from the collaboration between the UK’s REALITY SHOCK and REALITY CHANT. Both producers are respected in the roots scene. REALITY SHOCK, run by Kris Kemist, has worked with many reggae talents and helped bring UK roots reggae to a wider audience. REALITY CHANT, based in New Zealand, is known for blending classic reggae with modern sounds. Their partnership on this riddim brought a fresh but authentic vibe to 2013. The album’s artists each brought something special. Chieftain Joseph delivered "Musical Farmer," adding his unique voice to the mix. Cookie The Herbalist, who has shared stages with reggae legends like Lee "Scratch" Perry, contributed "Likkle Green Plant." Deadly Hunta, known for his work with Mungo’s Hi Fi, gave fans "Congratulations." Errol Dunkley, famous for his 1972 hit "OK Fred," teamed up with Daddy Freddy, a pioneer of fast-chat dancehall, for "You’ve Been Bad." Idren Natural, a familiar name in UK reggae, offered "Wonderous." In 2013, selectors played these tracks in roots reggae sets across Europe and beyond. The horns, bass, and conscious lyrics made the collection stand out. REALITY SHOCK x REALITY CHANT’s careful production helped the riddim become a favorite for both sound systems and home listening.
