Dancehall Icon Beenie Man Joins Forces with Rorey Baker on “Brawdah”

Posted on September 17, 2026 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Dancehall legend Beenie Man has partnered with acclaimed producer and engineer Rorey Baker for the release of “Brawdah,” a new single issued August 21, 2026, via Baker‘s One Pop Music imprint. Now available on all major digital streaming and download platforms, the release comprises two versions of the track: the original mix and the “Brawdah (Dancehall Fix).“

Produced by Rorey Baker and Tiuke Taumoepeau, “Brawdah” delivers a high-energy dancehall sound designed for peak party moments. The track’s title is drawn from Jamaican patois, in which “brawdah” translates to “broader” in English, and the song pays tribute to women with fit, well-toned physiques. Since its release, “Brawdah” has received strong support from dancehall selectors across Jamaica and in international markets.

The single marks a notable collaboration between Beenie Man, one of dancehall’s most internationally recognized artists, and Rorey Baker, a veteran producer and engineer whose credits include Chaka Demus & Pliers‘ hit single “Friends” and the original soundtrack to the acclaimed film Dancehall Queen, among numerous other projects across the genre. Baker‘s career was shaped in its early stages by mentorship from reggae and dancehall pioneers Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Sly & Robbie). In the years since, Baker has established himself as one of the industry’s most respected sonic architects, contributing to the evolution of contemporary reggae and dancehall music.

“Brawdah” is out now on all major platforms via One Pop Music.
