Drawing the line between the two matters: Mr Ridge creates Nasty Business with his eponymous single in August 2022, and he's the one who takes all three CMA Bouyon Artist of the Year wins, in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Pudaz, on his side, is the voice carrying the subgenre on the most important Caribbean Bouyon stages.
", "Cover Up", "D Coo Coo" and "Urpen That" in his top songs. In 2024, his WCMF programming (sourced by Nate Media) places him on the most prestigious Dominican Bouyon stage. On 3 January 2026, in Portsmouth, the 2025 Dominica Music Awards name him Bouyon Artist of the Year, the same night Ridge, his producer, receives Producer of the Year.
On February 2, 2026, he drops his album "I Doh Hear You" (7 tracks), while "Shake Something" (Kryptic Riddim, 2025) earns him a Bouyon Song of the Year nomination at the 2026 Caribbean Music Awards.
Pudaz (also identified as Dirty Dawg Pudaz) is the leading ambassador of Nasty Business, the subgenre created by Mr Ridge in August 2022 with his self-titled YouTube single. The editorial distinction is precise: Mr Ridge is the single documented creator of Nasty Business (three CMA Bouyon Artist of the Year wins, 2024, 2025 and 2026), but Pudaz is the ambassador voice carrying the subgenre onto the biggest stages of the Caribbean bouyon circuit. His 2022-2026 run traces exactly that consolidation.
The way into the network runs through "Push Ur Hand In Your" (2022), Kenny G's track with Dova, produced by Mr Ridge at the Cross D Bridge studio, the first signal of that internal circulation inside the Nasty core. Two years later, "B.D.Y.M.M." with Ridge (2024) becomes a streaming marker sourced on Shazam and confirmed by his Viberate profile Dirty Dawg Pudaz (which also lists "Cover Up", "D Coo Coo" and "Urpen That" among his top songs). His booking at the World Creole Music Festival 2024 alongside Mr Ridge, sourced by Nate Media, establishes his status as a WCMF artist, the most prestigious stage in the Dominican bouyon ecosystem.
