1. Genna Bounce

An easy frontrunner among 2017’s best dancehall riddims, Emudio Records’ Genna Bounce dropped in August with the catchiest song of the year as its lead track — Aidonia’s “Yeah Yeah.” Yeah Yeah gained much attention in Jamaica after a bus conductor was filmed hanging off the side of a bus doing wild dance moves while the track played in the background. Police in Jamaica released a statement that the song threatens public safety as it emanates such powerful energy and tried to ban the song. Other standout tracks on the riddim, which spawned its own dance, include Ding Dong‘s “Dweet” and Chi Ching Ching‘s “Swing Yuh Energy.” – DJ Arems
