Gully Gad – 13th Street Promotions

DJ Mac and Crash Dummy found lightning in a bottle with the “WYFL Riddim“. The 2025 release made way for emerging Artists to showcase their talent, gave established acts more hits for their catalogue, and even shed the spotlight on OG Artists to show us that they still got it. The Riddim continues to creep into the new year with well over 100 recordings to date, and there is no end in sight. Enter the “Gully Gad” Mavado, who steps out to the forefront with, “Bad & BBC Rich“.

With a video directed by Top Shootah, Mavado fixes his crown and speaks to the world in, “Bad & BBC Rich”. His return to Jamaica has brought new energy, and he uses the “WYFL Riddim” to send shots to those who have been attempting to tarnish his name and legendary status, and the video shows that he’s still good in his place. Over 20 years in, Mavado celebrated wins, experienced losses, but is still standing strong, leading his movement to prosperous times. The public still awaits his welcome back concert, but until then, we will get more music. The “Gully Gad” speaks.

Today is a celebration. Today marks the birthday of one of Dancehall’s giants, Mavado. Why not give him an “Oldies Sunday” feature? Today, we go back in time to check out, “Weh Dem A Do“.

Produced by Delly Ranx and released through Di Ranx Productions on the “Redbull & Guinness Riddim” in 2006, Mavado came out swinging with “Weh Dem A Do”. Armed with a gritty and melodic delivery, Mavado stepped onto the scene showcasing the dark environment he’s from, and made for a song that not only had the gangsters’ attention, but the ladies as well. The Riddim’s upbeat sound made a good fit for the “Gully Gad“, and with a catchy hook (“Weh dem a do, weh dem a try…”) intact, it quickly became one of the Deejay’s first hits. “Weh Dem A Do” was featured on his critically acclaimed debut album, “Gangsta For Life, The Symphony Of David Brooks“, which went on to become a hit on the International market.

Since the release of “Weh Dem A Do”, Mavado not only became a household name in the Caribbean, but became a known figure Internationally, and secured his place as one of Dancehall’s legend. He ushered in his “Gullyside” movement, scored multiple hits, participated in one of the biggest beefs in Dancehall history (Gully vs Gaza with Vybz Kartel), and recently returned to Jamaica for the first time in several years due to legal issues. Mavado still holds the position as one of Dancehall’s top acts, and “Weh Dem A Do” still gets the crowd going.
