Flexxing with RDX



(via The Jamaica Observer)

The energetic duo, RDX, who are know for their multi-colored hair, is never short of time and words of wisdom for their fans and foes alike. Since making their debut on the dancehall music scene with hit songs such as Everybody Dance, Dancers Anthem, Skip To Ma Lou and Movements they have managed to spread dancehall music to di 'Worl'!

Renigade and Delomar have both come a long way since they emerged as the 'dancers' deejays' in 2005.

However, with determination and some skillful dancers by their side they have definitely succeeded. They encourage youths to follow their dreams even though life might take some detours before they get to their final destination. Both have spoken of their challenges both at home and in the industry.

They recall the times when they would go to the inner-city community of Waterhouse to voice their songs; much to the dismay and disapproval of their mothers. Leaving their jobs as graphic designer and sales representative, they took to the stage to show the world how the popular Jamaican moves are done.

With their infectious verses and foot flashing dances RDX gives the people music they can move to, though they jokingly admitted: "We a nuh dancer, but we can dance fi save wi life."

Fresh from performances in Guadeloupe and Guyana, where they performed along with their "flagship dancer" Bermuda Kid to sold-out crowds, RDX says that "the promoters in Guyana said it was the first time 10,000 patrons had stayed to see a performance despite the rain and mud", and the fans surely were not disappointed.

They call themselves ambassadors for dancehall music; a title they feel every dancehall artiste should adopt, as their influence locally and internationally goes further than the music they make. "As artistes we need to realize that what we say and do has a powerful influence on those who listen to our music; for good and bad. RDX grew up seeing violence around us so we chose to record and produce positive music that will make people feel good and have fun."
