Awah Suh Riddim – Rokwon Music Group

Rokwon Music Group’s Awah Suh Riddim comes off like a lean, no-frills 2013 dancehall set, with seven cuts and a tight cast that keeps the energy moving rather than overcrowding the riddim. Iyara and George P’s “Yutes Dem Time” gives it an early jolt, while Tishawn returns twice on “Wickid Fren” and the raw version, which hints at the kind of street-level replay value producers were chasing in that period. Jay Phlo’s “Mi Get Gal” and Albeeno’s “Nuh Bag A Man” add their own flavor, and the lone version closes things out cleanly. Compared with Rokwon’s earlier Love Ache work, this one feels more stripped back and more geared toward bashment pressure than a broad vocal spread. It sits neatly in the label’s catalogue as one of those compact dancehall riddims built for selectors who want a quick pull-up and a few sharp party tunes.
