Nonstop Riddim – Quality Records

Quality Records’ Nonstop Riddim sits in that late-2018 wave of compact dancehall juggling, with five artists cutting nine tracks and the same songs coming in clean and raw versions for a sharper sound clash feel. The title cut from I Waata opens things with that impatient, forward-driving energy, while Munga Honorable’s “Paper Chase” and Intence’s “Everything” bring the kind of streetwise talk that keeps the riddim moving with purpose. Released on November 30, 2018, it was kept tight and functional rather than overstuffed, and that sequencing tells you exactly what Quality Records wanted here: a straight run of versions that lets each voicing hit, reset, then hit again.
