Dawg Paw Riddim – Stainless Records

By early 2018, dancehall was still deep in that hard-edged, selector-friendly run where a rhythm had to hit quick and leave room for big names to cut through, and Dawg Paw Riddim fits that moment neatly. Stainless Records keeps the sound lean and direct, with Vybz Kartel setting the tone twice on “Wine Girl” in raw and clean versions, then handing the floor to Krysie, New Kidz HD, Bling Dawg and Capleton. The release landed on January 19, 2018, with 9 tracks in all, including the instrumental, which gives the project a proper sound-system feel. The sequencing is deliberate: Kartel up front, the cuts spaced out, and the riddim ending with its bare version so the producer’s pattern hangs in the air after the vocals drop away.
