Deep Breath Riddim – Kingston 11 Productions / Vayda Entertainment

Low-slung and smoky, Deep Breath Riddim leans into that late-night dancehall pocket with a compact lineup that keeps the energy tight and the hooks sharp. Blakkman’s “Greenlight” and Rozeau’s “Tek Notes” feel like the anchor cuts here, while Kenzic’s “Highness” and Bob Da Builda’s “Ganja Smoke” keep the mood rolling with weeded-out bravado and a cool, unhurried bounce. The riddim was put out on March 19, 2021, and at 14 tracks with 10 artists it’s a more focused set than a sprawling juggling, which suits Kingston 11 Productions and Vayda Entertainment’s leaner approach. Compared with some of their busier early-2020s work, this one feels stripped back and centered on the groove rather than the guest count, and it sits neatly inside the label’s catalogue as one of those sharp, no-nonsense dancehall drops.
