Burglar Riddim – Frakaz Records

Frakaz Records keeps its name attached to a set of voices that all circle the same dark dancehall mood, and Burglar Riddim feels cut for the kind of juggling that thrives on tension rather than gloss. The title sets the tone immediately: this is a menacing, street-minded rhythm with a stalking bassline and a hard-edged drum pattern that gives the singers and deejays room to sound alert and combative. The whole thing comes in as a compact dancehall package, and the energy is more midnight patter than party brightness.

Frakaz has been pushing music in the dancehall space in 2025 and 2026, with the catalog already showing direct links to Mr Waden and G Murder. The label name sits on their recent single Hustle Hard, which pairs Mr Waden and G Murder and is dated January 1, 2026 on the platforms that carry it. That makes Burglar Riddim look like part of a current run rather than a one-off vanity project, with Frakaz using the riddim format the way the old dancehall producers did: as a test bed for multiple voices over one stern instrumental.

The lineup is anchored by Mr Waden, G Murder, Escobars, S, and Da Wicc. Mr Waden has already been tied to the Frakaz setup through Hustle Hard, and his Set Standards cut sounds like the kind of tune that wants authority and discipline over flash. G Murder appears twice in the broader file, which suggests Frakaz is comfortable letting him be one of the main faces of the riddim. His Aste Aste is the kind of title that hints at patience and slow-burn pressure, a natural match for a rhythm with a grim, burglar-in-the-night feel.

Escobars is the name that may pull the widest outside interest. He has been active in UK drill and hip-hop circles, including the Kwengface link-up Woah, so hearing him on a dancehall riddim is notable in itself. Wrong Turn should be the cut people check first because it places his cold, clipped delivery against a Caribbean framework rather than a drill one, and that kind of cross-pollination can either flatten an artist or reveal a new angle. S’s Thugging and Da Wicc’s 2 Bad keep the project in the street-tough register, and that consistency is part of the point: Burglar Riddim is not trying to be smooth, it is trying to sound like trouble moving through a neighborhood after dark.

What makes the release work is the way the voices are matched to the production’s pressure. This is the sort of riddim that depends on attitude, cadence, and timing more than melody, and Frakaz has chosen artists who can sell that kind of force. Burglar Riddim feels designed for selectors who want one dark shell and a handful of different ways to cut into it.
