Ovaseaz Riddim – Hemp Higher

Out of Switzerland, Hemp Higher’s Ovaseaz Riddim circles back to that crisp early-2010s digital dancehall sound: lean drums, a rolling bassline, and enough open space for the voices to cut through. Cali P’s “Mek She Feel It” and Gappy Ranks’ “Work Hard” give it two of the strongest pulls, while Randy Valentine, Mellowquence and Tiyarro, and Mr Midas keep the energy varied without drifting far from the riddim’s tough, forward-driving core. The German and French-language cuts from D Flame and Mad Killah add a nice continental edge, which fits the project’s wider European footprint, and the title tracks from Antonio West, Blak Diamon, and Fulklip keep the hooky “Ovaseaz” chant in circulation. It’s a neat snapshot of that era when Swiss-based production was feeding a truly international dancehall network.
