Kiss Of Judas Riddim – Billboard King Records

By April 2026, dancehall was deep in its run of spiritually tinted juggling projects, and Kiss Of Judas Riddim lands right in that pocket with a heavy gospel-and-testimony angle running through the whole set. Billboard King Records keeps the tone serious and deliberate, with Kemar McGregor steering a lineup that pairs veterans and strong-voiced selectors: Beenie Man on “Heavenly Father, ” Elephant Man on “Keep Me Covered, ” I-Octane on the sharp clean/raw pairing of “Fealty, ” and Rick Ross alongside Etana on the title cut. The writing leans biblical, but the production stays in dancehall terrain, all taut drum programming, low-end pressure, and a measured mid-tempo pulse rather than anything frantic. That steady 85-BPM frame gives the singers room to stretch their phrasing, and the instrumental version underlines how much the riddim depends on its dry bassline and clipped percussive swing.
