After Life Riddim (2019) – Hevs Records

Sparse but sharp, After Life Riddim keeps Hevs Records in that tight 2019 dancehall pocket the label was carving out, with Bareface’s “Check, ” Leanny Frass’ “Money Inna Mi Account, ” and Shu Shu’s “Murderers” giving the project its edge. The riddim runs as a six-track set and moves with a lean, trap-leaning bounce rather than trying to crowd the space, which suits the dark, slightly brooding title. Hevs slots in a clean instrumental at the end, and that’s where you hear the producer’s hand most clearly: minimal, hard-snapping, and built for the artists to cut through. Coming after earlier Hevs work like Reverb and before the later runs of End Game and Fire Torch, it lands as part of a small but consistent catalogue of modern dancehall riddims from a producer who knows how to keep the pattern uncluttered.
