Rymey Gad

Born Garrett Whitelock, he has spoken about growing up in Hanover and Westmoreland, leaving school for financial reasons, and getting his first grounding in performance by deejaying at school from around grade six. In that same profile, he described music as something he had long been drawn to, and he named Jah Vinci, Vybz Kartel, and I-Wayne among his influences.

Rymey Gad’s catalog shows an artist working steadily and collaboratively across the current dancehall scene. Streaming platforms list him in the modern dancehall lane and show a run of releases through 2025 and 2026, including singles such as “Without Me,” “Crook,” “Billionaire,” and the 2026 release “Hattrick.” His name also appears on collaborations that helped widen his reach, including “Nuh Obeah” with Kraff, which he has said gave his career an important push, and newer pairings like “Get Up” with Rushawn and “SouthWest” with Areakode.

What stands out in Rymey Gad’s rise is the way he combines raw local swagger with a polished release pattern that fits today’s dancehall ecosystem. His records often lean into bold phrasing, hard-edged confidence, and upbeat, chant-ready delivery, but they also reflect an artist still sharpening his live presence and expanding his sound. That tension between early promise and steady development gives his work its appeal: he sounds like someone still on the climb, but already understood by listeners who follow the new wave of Jamaican dancehall closely.
