Chaser Riddim – Attomatic Records / New Wavez Entertainment

Chaser Riddim landed in 2021 from Attomatic Records and New Wavez Entertainment, and it sits right in the modern 6ix-era dancehall lane: hard-edged, street-facing, and built for artists who can ride a tense, urgent pattern without crowding it. The rhythm moves with a clipped bounce and a dark, chasing pulse, the kind of production that leaves space for patois-heavy deejay talk while still feeling propulsive enough for radio and dancehall sound systems.

Attomatic Records is tied to Atto Wallace, a Kingston-based producer who has become closely associated with the new MoBay-to-city dancehall wave, while New Wavez Entertainment helps frame the release as part of a contemporary label partnership rather than a one-off juggling. The project was released in early 2021, and the cut names on file line up with the versions that actually surfaced around the riddim: Big Voice, Bobby 6ix, Demarco, Franco Wildlife, Fya Doops, Java, Sanity Dsane1, ShaqStar, Swagga 6ix, T’Jean, Takeova, and Travalaunch.

Demarco’s “Do This Innah Real Life” brings veteran weight to the set; he’s long been one of dancehall’s most versatile voices, equally comfortable with melody and grit. Bobby 6ix’s “Dream Chaser” and ShaqStar’s “Life of Crime” tap the same restless energy from different angles, while Takeova’s “Shop Lock” and T’Jean’s “Survival” sharpen the street narrative. The strongest thing about Chaser Riddim is how it keeps that pressure on without losing tune: ambition, struggle, and hustle all come through clearly over a beat that never really relaxes.
