Genesis Riddim (2020) – Kicks Musiq

Kicks Musiq’s Genesis Riddim arrived in 2020 as a short, street-minded dancehall juggling that runs on a dark, rattling groove and a clean, hard-edged pulse. The set stays lean at five cuts, with Prohgres, TakeOva, Dansweev and Teeardropz carrying the load across the same production bed. The release is credited to Kicks Musiq, and it was issued in 2020 through the Zojak/streaming pipeline that handled the digital roll-out.

The strongest thing about the riddim is its mood: tense, forward-driving and built for ambition songs rather than party fluff. Prohgres’ Money Mind fits that energy with its focus on hustle and financial pressure, while TakeOva’s Expose brings a more direct dancehall stance. Dansweev’s Best Life pushes the positive side of the rhythm, giving the project a more aspirational angle. Teeardropz, whose Amnesia appears in both clean and raw versions, gives the set its most complete moment by showing how the same vocal can work in different settings without losing impact.

Teeardropz had already been moving into wider view around this period, and Prohgres had established himself as a Jamaican dancehall singer with a catalogue that mixes street reflection and motivation. Taken together, Genesis Riddim feels like a compact 2020 dancehall package aimed at selectors who want a modern, no-nonsense pattern with enough lyrical range to keep the juggling moving.
