Soulful Riddim – Benz Redsquare Connection

Benz Redsquare Connection returns with Soulful Riddim as a dancehall juggling that swaps the usual bashment rush for something softer, warmer, and more melodic. The production has a smooth, singer-friendly glide, with clean percussion, rounded bass, and a sentimental feel that leaves room for hooks about love, longing, and attraction. It sits comfortably in the lane Benz has been working through recent releases, where the emphasis is on voice and replay value rather than club aggression.

The strongest pull here comes from the range of artists on the riddim. Ian Sweetness brings veteran polish to Movie Star, while Delly Ranx adds seasoned dancehall grit on Nah Tek Nuh Badup. Jah Niceness appears twice, first on the reflective Come Around and again on Call Dem Out, giving the riddim both its tender side and its sharper edge. That balance is part of what makes the project work. Yearhriffe’s Am I Dreaming and Jackie B’s Addicted Love keep the romantic thread moving, while Top Teir’s Jamaican Culture and R New York’s Island Girls widen the palette with a more youthful, contemporary feel.

Benz Redsquare Connection is clearly positioning the riddim as a showcase for voices that can ride a love-toned groove without losing character. The result is less about one anthem and more about how different singers and deejays color the same bed from multiple angles.
