Rottn Rich Riddim – Krayz Rekardz

In 2018, dancehall was leaning hard into money-talk anthems and quick-hit digital riddims, and Rottn Rich sat right in that pocket with ten voices circling the same bassline. Shawn Storm’s “Nah Go Home” and Tee Jay’s “Dollar Bills” set the tone early, both riding the cut with that hustler energy that was all over the genre that year, while Khago’s “Lock In” and Gold Gad’s “Brand Out” keep the pressure on with more of the same get-up-and-go attitude. Krayz Rekardz keeps the production lean and punchy, letting the vocals do the talking instead of crowding the mix, which suits a project that runs straight through without wasting time. With names like Gage, Lybran, and Mr Khool in the lineup too, Rottn Rich plays like a proper snapshot of late-2010s dancehall’s cash-conscious lane.
