Freddy Vs Jason Riddim – Gramma Records

Freddy Vs Jason Riddim from Gramma Records landed in late 2020 with a dark, street-oriented dancehall feel that matches its horror-title branding. The cut runs at a brisk 103 BPM and is built for juggling, with a tense, minor-key pulse that leaves plenty of space for the voices to cut through. Gramma Records heads the production, and the project is tied to Stamma Gramma, who fronts the instrumental as well as the opening cut, Bloods and Crips.

The strongest names on the riddim are the ones that had already become central to the new-school dancehall lane by 2020. Jahvillani’s Dynamic brings his sharp, topical delivery into the mix, while Chronic Law’s Dark sits naturally in his grim, measured style. Intence’s Sore is another key pull, built for his clipped, combative phrasing. Blak Ryno’s Choppa Dem Deh Yah and Shawn Storm’s Nuh Trouble Trouble add heavier street energy, and AceGawd’s Gone to Di Dogs follows the same rugged direction. Navino’s Bimma gives the riddim a more playful, car-culture angle, while Typikcal’s Shallow Grave and Evil Intentions’ Dark Prahfit keep the whole set in murkier territory.

The project also stretches beyond the main names with Artical’s Deadly Departed and Blvk Dove’s Friday the 13Th, both of which fit the horror-thriller mood implied by the title. With its raw and clean versions included on some releases, Freddy Vs Jason Riddim was packaged the way selectors like it: straight street dancehall, ready for forwards.
