Dancehall A Fame Riddim – Trackhouse Entertainment

Trackhouse Entertainment’s Dancehall A’ Fame Riddim arrived in March 2021 under TracKHousE Records, and it feels like a late-2021-era dancehall juggling designed to cover a few different corners of the dance. The beat moves with a brisk, digital snap and enough low-end pressure to hold the floor, while the vocal choices swing from sly street talk to rough-edged party chatter and a couple of more seasoned voices that give the set some weight.

The line-up is anchored by Elephant Man, Beenie Man, Pressure Busspipe, Lutan Fyah, Rytikal, Leftside, Teejay, Sikka Rymes, Chikie Grainz, Fambo, Iyara, and a few other cuts that widen the net. Elephant Man’s So Easy brings the veteran energy-god bounce he’s been known for since his Kingston dancehall rise, while Beenie Man’s No Regular adds that unmistakable veteran command. Teejay’s Real OG and Rytikal’s Gal Wine push the riddim into the newer, harder dancehall lane, with Rytikal’s St. Thomas-rooted delivery giving the rhythm a sharp street edge. Pressure Busspipe’s Time and Lutan Fyah’s Kung Fu Smile bring a different tone, leaning more into serious, roots-minded phrasing without losing the dancehall shell. Leftside’s Middle Miggle and Sikka Rymes’ Bring Yuh Home help keep the juggling lively, and the set’s variety is what gives it its replay value.

It’s not a one-note party tape. The riddim leaves room for personalities, and that mix of veteran star power and newer voices is what makes Dancehall A’ Fame feel like a proper 2021 dancehall release rather than just another compilation.
