Gone Up Riddim – Q5 Recordz

2021 found dancehall in a pretty lean, digital mood, and Gone Up Riddim fits that moment with a six-cut Q5 Recordz set that keeps the focus on voice and pattern rather than heavy decoration. Esther’s title track leads the way, while Berrie’s “Statement” and Wacky Dan’s “Elevate (Run Road)” push the sharper, street-level side of the project; ProdigyX3, Jahwin and Nuclair9 fill out the lineup without crowding it. Q5 Recordz keeps the production tight and spare, with a clipped drum pulse, thick low-end and enough open space for each singer to land their lines cleanly. The whole thing runs like a brisk one-drop dancehall exercise at mid-tempo, built for clear hooks and straight-ahead delivery.
