El Gringo Boss Reece Dry, a UK-based dancehall producer, is getting major props for creating a trap dancehall-styled song, ‘Rich Badness’ which merges two artists across the Atlantic, Tuggawar from the UK and Jah Tee who hails from Central Village, St. Catherine.

“The response has been incredible, people love the international flavour because Tuggawar is in the U.K. and Jah Tee is in Jamaica. Half the video was shot in Jamaica, and half in England to give the viewers on each end of the world a view of how things are in those worlds,” Reece Dry said.

The single was released on the El Gringo Records label on April 12, 2022 via all download platforms worldwide.

The UK-based Tuggawar, who hails from Hackney, London, said he is very excited about the early buzz of ‘Rich Badness’.

“Check out the video, look pon the swagger, yu think a Mick Jagger, big up Reece Dry for Rich Badness, he has a Suge Knight- Pablo Escobar vibes, and we did this amazing song, and the video is absolute amazing with scenes from Central Village and London,” Tuggawar, whose real name is Neofytos Neofytou, said.

Tuggawar is one of the most controversial white reggae-rap artistes from the musical melting pot North London. Dancehall artiste Jah Tee is an emerging talent from Jamaica.

Reece Dry is amped about the potential of the project.

“We’re getting major feedback on the ground and in the dancehalls. Tuggawar is an experienced artist that has shared the stage with the likes of Vybz Kartel and many more of the biggest names in dancehall. Jah Tee is an artiste that’s ready for the big stage, and his style and flow are phenomenal,” Reece Dry said.

Reece Dry is an actor, known for Beverley (2015), The Hit and The Singing Bird Will Come (2015).
