Geo-Metric Riddim – Real Squad Records

Real Squad Records let Geo-Metric Riddim arrive as a straight 2018 dancehall juggling built on sharp, mechanical energy. The set runs with Wayne Wonder’s Dem Badmind, Iyara’s Ooh Deh, Badda General’s Caah Do We Notn, Patexx’s Dem Run, Drizzy Fade’s Who Trick Dem and Jeffrey Mykals’ Wanna Be, and the title fits the sound: clipped, pattern-driven and made for forward motion rather than lush melody.

Wayne Wonder gives the riddim its biggest name and the smoothest contrast. The veteran Jamaican singer has long been associated with clean hooks and radio-friendly melody, but here he drops into a harder dancehall frame, which gives Dem Badmind extra bite. Iyara and Badda General stay closer to the street talk and direct badman posture that keeps these juggling records moving, while Patexx and Drizzy Fade add the kind of terse, chant-heavy delivery that works best when the rhythm is doing the heavy lifting. Jeffrey Mykals closes the run with Wanna Be, adding another local voice to a project that feels rooted in the contemporary Jamaican dancehall circuit rather than any crossover polish.

Real Squad Records had already been active as a riddim imprint before this release, and Geo-Metric fits that catalog style: concise, voice-ready, built for selectors to spin across different audiences. It is the sort of one-riddim set that lives on attitude, repetition and a tight drum pattern, with the artists using the same backbone to push different shades of envy, self-assertion and war talk.
