Shishenkeh Riddim – Newave Music

Newave Music’s Shishenkeh Riddim sits in the producer’s 2021 catalogue as a straight reggae juggling with seven voiced cuts, and the lineup leans on familiar roots names without overcrowding the frame. Luciano’s Give a Little Love, Louie Culture’s Deh Yah Pon Di Juggling and Jigsy King’s Oh My God do a lot of the heavy lifting, while Petah Morgan, Lukie D, Hills Man and Cleon Williams keep the set moving with different shades of consciousness and uplift. The rhythm itself stays dry and steady, more workmanlike than flashy, with a patient bassline, skanking guitar chops and a clean drum pattern that leaves plenty of room for the singers to ride the pocket. It’s a concise 2021 release, distributed through Zojak, and the groove holds to a measured mid-tempo pulse that keeps the vocals front and center.
