Aysica Riddim – Sturrclass Entertainment

2016 was the year dancehall kept leaning hard into lean, digital riddims with just enough swing to let the vocals cut through, and Aysica sits right in that pocket. Sturrclass Entertainment keeps the arrangement tight across only three tracks, with Popcaan’s “Bad A Road” giving the project its sharpest pull, Kiprich locking into “Bad Up, ” and Jah Son’s “Cups Up Jahson” rounding out the set with a straight bashment feel. The production has that clipped, skeletal bounce that leaves plenty of room for the deejays, so the personality comes from the delivery as much as the rhythm itself. Released on March 4, 2016, the Aysica Riddim runs as a three-song digital single.
