Squash – We High

Squash came through in 2018 sounding exactly like the Westmoreland-to-Montego Bay movement that made him one of dancehall’s most talked-about young voices. We High is a blunt, street-minded single with the kind of rugged energy that fit his rise at the time: hard-edged but catchy, with that melodic, almost taunting delivery he became known for. The song sits in the lane he was carving out around then, where bragging rights, crew loyalty, and day-to-day survival all sit in the same verse.

By that point, Squash was already the face of the 6ixx camp and one of the main reasons the Montego Bay side of the dancehall map had its own momentum again. He had built his name out of raw local records that spread far beyond St. James, and 2018 was the year his profile really widened. We High fits into that run. It is not polished in the glossy-pop sense; it has the rough bounce and forward pressure of a street single made for dances, playlists, and replay value. The title alone points to a celebratory, elevated mood, but the tone is still rooted in the codes that define Squash: confidence, pressure, and the need to keep moving like the whole section is watching.

The release is tied to Outta Nothing Production and 6ixreal Records, with 6ixreal functioning as Squash’s own label arm and Outta Nothing adding the outside production side. That pairing matters, because it places the single inside the self-determined era of his catalog, when he was building his own lane rather than waiting for the mainstream to catch up. It is a compact song, but one that helps explain why Squash’s name carried so much weight in 2018.
