“Do Bad Remix” is the brand new single from Ayana John and Peter Ram, available worldwide via all major streaming services. Percussive pizzicato arpeggios open the track as the beat lands on a smooth and sexy island groove. On the mic, the two singers take turns rapping and singing freestyle verses as they riff on the song title. Do Bad is a phrase specific to Barbadian lingo/dialect which means to ‘act out’.
