1up Riddim – Hemton Music / Jaycrazie Records

1up Riddim comes in with a cheeky, game-console title and a bright, nimble dancehall pulse that feels built for fast turns and quick-fire lyrics rather than heavy slouch. Produced by Hemton Music and Jaycrazie Records in 2021, it line-dances its way through nine cuts, with Daddy1’s “This Anuh Game, ” Gold Gad’s “Nintendo, ” and Shawn Storm’s “Dem Nah Dweet” among the sharpest pulls. Squash’s title track gives the project its clearest hook, while the names around it keep the energy moving without crowding the rhythm. The sequencing feels deliberate too, running from “This Anuh Game” to “Talk Bout” in a way that keeps the riddim tight, playful, and easy to follow across the full set.
