Scata Bada's Ashaiman origin is not only a personal motivation source from which he can draw extra confidence when his career moves are rolling downhill, but is also a fertile foundation upon which he can pitch his hope tent and uphold the self-assurance that the very next best artiste Ashaiman will ever offer reggae-dancehall, after Stonebwoy, is him [Scata Bada]. Relatively, Ashaiman has more of GH's finer reggae-dancehall artistes than Nima even ever has.
The Ashaimanians are more marketable when considering a sale of artistes to a mixed audience of the elite and the masses. Scata is not deficient of those exact same marketable characteristics that our top reggae-dancehall artistes demonstrate. He practically shows his sufficiency of those characteristics in his works.

10] Riddim Riding Excellence
To ride a riddim is not merely about putting your vocals on the riddim. When they say an artiste has rode a riddim it means he actually did full justice to that riddim, and this a serious reference to recording leverage. Riddim riding is an easy do for Scata Bada, it's an ability he has demonstrated in his works over the years. He diligently studies a riddim he will use and then applies the most relevant delivery tools during writing and composition, to ensure that he earns a higher rating by every post-recording analyst. This, he does by using creative excellence --- ensuring that his rhyme schemes, lyrics, vocal emotions, diction, story concept and his styling options are perfectly matching to the texture of the riddim. Relevance should never be compromised, that’s probably Scata’s secret rule.
11] Riddim Compilation Calls

He has had multiple compilation appearance requests from Empressive Music[UK], Rebel Librarion[Kenya], BeMore Records[Zimbabwe], BlueMoon Productions[UK], Fras Twin Records[Jamaica], Master Garzy[Ghana], Gerry Gill Entertainmnet [US], BlueTip Music [South Africa] and several more others. His song "Why" appears on the Johnny Blaze compilation album and it shares the same tracklist with Stonebwoy's "Run Go", and Tony Anthony's "Can I Get Some Sleep".
12] Mixed Listenership
Scata Bada music is one made for all! His hallmark themes cut across age, class, and religious orientation, as his music is listenable by all and sundry. Once he performs for all ages, classes and different orientations, his brand is automatically acceptable by people from all walks of life. This is a great business remark, it helps him get his music into every home as his ever-friendly musical content is neither defamatory nor the kind that merits prohibition by parental insistence or legal forces.
