Massacre Riddim (2018) – Sheldon Kaine Music

A compact six-track cut, Massacre Riddim keeps the focus tight with just four voices across the board, and that gives the project a sharp, no-frills feel from the jump. Jah Vinci and Quick Cook’s “Waata” is the head-turner here, coming in both clean and raw versions, while Qbe gets two swings of “Food Huntin” plus “The Massacre, ” all riding Sheldon Kaine’s own instrumental. The production sits in that hard-edged dancehall pocket, with enough space in the rhythm for the vocals to land heavy without crowding the mix. Released in July 2018, the set runs 16 minutes and closes with Sheldon Kaine’s “The Massacre Riddim (Instrumental), ” a neat final pass over the riddim itself.
