Lemon Kush Riddim – Upt Records

This one leans more playful and smoke-hazed than the harder-edged dancehall UPT has put out at times, with a compact six-track run that keeps the focus on the vibe rather than crowding the lane. Elephant Man’s “So F**king High” is the obvious hook, all brazen energy and cheeky phrasing, while Gyptian’s “Different” slows the temperature a touch and gives the riddim a smoother, more melodic pull. J Rile’s “Euphoria” sits right in the middle, riding the groove with a lighter touch, and Hard Fi Deal Wid’s “Straight Forward” keeps the set grounded at the end. Released in April 2019, Lemon Kush Riddim arrived as a short, tidy dancehall set from UPT Records, with both raw and radio versions built in for the selectors and the casual crowd alike.
