Demos...
from the Bada Bada Blog
Since the 'Cosa Nostra' came out a few weeks now, I've never listened to so many demos from artistes in my life. Not even during our time at Jammy's when Bada Bada was #1 riddim with atleast 3 songs in the top ten have I heard so many artistes sending demos with a song on the riddim. Bless up to the people that dig the riddim. Hopefully we can mek it shot out to a much greater success! God willing...

COSA NOSTRA RIDDIM REVIEW
from HeatWave.co.uk
Mr Lexx & Ward 21 - Dem A Pree (Cosa Nostra Riddim)
Ward 21's Cosa Nostra is the hottest rhythm track in dancehall right now. It's your new best friend: it will make you want to dance but it will also make you want to break something.
Riddims like this - and vocals like Mr Lexx's Dem A Pree - are why we love dancehall so much.
Lexx's repitched and cut up vocals on the intro build things nicely for his deep voiced delivery on the opening verse. Add the familiar shouts ("hey!") and a chest-rattling bassline and you get a sum that equals MAD.
The other vocal cuts are good too. Ward 21, Timberlee, Natalie Storm, Tifa, Assassin aka Agent Sasco and Point O all deliver versions that get big forwards.
In case you're wondering why it's called Cosa Nostra, Ward 21's Kunley explains it on the new Bada Bada Gang blog.
