Ghetto Palms 93: Genesis Riddim / World Premiere!
- story Eddie "Stats" Houghton
Technically, Bobby Konders and Jabba premiered the dumb-heavy new riddim from the leaders of dancehall’s new school last week on their Hot97 show. But since I’ve established my credentials by supporting the Daseca sound and the whole Alliance phenom early, early in the game, I got the greenlight to officially debut it on the web—or as I like to think of it, the blagga-blagga-blogosphere. So without further ado, may I present the Genesis riddim…get familiar.

Mavado, “War is in the Air (Israel Riddim)” MP3
- story Erin Hansen
If you don’t know dancehall, naming a riddim “Israel” to spite your arch nemesis and his “Gaza” empire might be so politically mind-boggling that you disregard it as a minor slap on the wrist. For those in the crossfire of the Gaza vs. Gully feud, the Alliance’s Israel Riddim is symptomatic of something much bigger bubbling underneath the dancehall scene’s surface and it’s emphasized best in Mavado’s track, which he earnestly calls “War is in the Air.” Despite this riddim’s dark forecast, it features a more than a few artists who’ve been making waves in the dancehall world, most outstandingly Fagan Fraternity’s Flexx, who popped up on the periphery with his heavy tone and a knack for clever tongue lashings that we can only hope keeps him heavy in the dancehall boxing ring.
