Red Cup Riddim – Wmg Lab Records

With just four cuts, Red Cup Riddim keeps the focus tight, letting Kyron, Pternsky, Carter and Sure Star each get a clean run over WMG Lab Records’ 2017 dancehall production. Kyron’s “Trophy” has the most immediate pull, a puffed-up anthem with enough bite to feel built for replay, while Pternsky’s “Last One” leans into that stubborn, end-of-night energy the title suggests. Carter’s “Nah Go Cry” brings a sharper, more personal turn, and Sure Star’s “Achieve” adds the motivational note that ties the whole thing together without making it feel preachy. Released on September 15, 2017, the project sits right in that mid-2010s era when compact digital riddims were still the quickest way to test a sound and a set of voices.
