Mushroom Riddim – Anju Blaxx

Mushroom Riddim arrived in 2019 from Andrew Myrie, better known as Anju Blaxx, through UIM Records. By then, Anju Blaxx had already built a reputation for sharp, modern dancehall production, and this set fits neatly into that run of bass-heavy, melody-forward juggling.

The rhythm has that brisk, late-2010s dancehall snap: a firm kick pattern, skittering percussive touches, and enough space for the voices to ride the pocket without crowding it. It moves fast but not frantically, which gives the songs room to flip between street talk, flirting, and self-defense. X3myst opens with “1 Eye Open” in both raw and clean versions, setting the tone with tense vigilance. Jah Vinci’s “Tonight” brings a smoother, more singable touch, while Jahvillani’s “Be Alright” keeps the energy blunt and assertive. Propa Fade’s “Yah Now” and Nicko Blast’s “Bad Vibez” add the sharper, rougher edge that balance out the more radio-friendly cuts.

The full cast includes Blak Diamon on “123, ” Jreem on “Good Again, ” LVNA on “Girls Wanna Have Fun, ” Ras Ash1st on “Thank You, ” Rygin King on “Too Late” in raw and clean versions, and Yeshwa on “Good Girl. ” That mix of established voices and newer names is part of the riddim’s appeal. It does not try to be glossy or oversized; it keeps the juggling moving and lets each artist find a different angle on the same backbone.
