Juice Riddim (2021) – Kwashawna Records

Kwashawna Records lines up Juice Riddim as a 2021 dancehall juggling with a very modern, Gaza-rooted pulse. The label is tied to Shawn Storm, who established Kwashawna Records in 2014, and the imprint has already been home to a run of dancehall projects that orbit the same streetwise, digital-era energy. Juice landed in June 2021 as a six-track EP, putting the riddim in the middle of that catalog rather than treating it like a one-off.

The sound is bright and forward-driving, with the kind of clipped, bass-led bounce that leaves room for melodies, swagger, and quick-turn phrases. It has the feel of a cut built for DJs and streaming playlists at the same time: sharp hooks, lean arrangements, and enough space in the rhythm for each voicing to stamp its own personality on the track. Sikka Rymes opens with Come Yah Suh, bringing the Trench Town grit and Gaza-era edge he has become known for. Shawn Storm links with Shatta Wale on Juice, a smart pairing that gives the riddim a cross-Caribbean charge and folds Ghanaian dancehall into the Jamaican center of gravity. Voicemail’s Happy and Rich pushes a more melodic, harmony-rich angle, which suits a group that made its name blending dancehall energy with a smoother vocal approach.

Tussan’s Gyal Know Fi and Candy Price’s Rich Inha Life keep the theme locked on money, movement, and lifestyle, while Savage’s Ants Follow Fat adds a tougher streetwise cut to the sequence. Juice Riddim works because it keeps the energy steady while letting each artist find a different way into the same groove.
