State Of Mind Riddim – Attomatic Records

State Of Mind Riddim lands as one of Attomatic Records’ cleaner 2020 dancehall juggling pieces, a set that sits at the darker, more reflective end of the year without losing its street pressure. The rhythm runs at a mid-tempo pace, with a taut kick pattern, spare melodic touches, and enough open space for each voice to cut through. It has that polished, radio-ready feel, but the subject matter stays heavy: frustration, survival, loss, self-preservation, and the idea of pushing through a hard mental state.

Demarco is the anchor here, and his name carries weight for good reason. The Portmore deejay has long balanced artist, songwriter, and production work, and his Mi Fi Tell Yuh cut gives the riddim one of its most memorable hooks. The raw version sharpens the edge, while Terrible extends that tougher character. Shawn Storm’s No Stone Unturned brings the sort of determined, road-tested delivery that has made him a recognizable voice in modern dancehall. Jafrass adds bite on Frustration, and Quada’s Better Life gives the project a more introspective turn.

The supporting voices help widen the picture. Duptimis opens the emotional lane with Mama Don’t Cry, Lawboss brings a cold, blunt stare on Cold World, and Shaqstar’s Die For Me and Rebel Sixx’s Glory keep the energy rooted in St. Thomas-style grit. With cuts from Big Voice, Kaepable, and others filling out the set, State Of Mind Riddim works best as a mood piece: tense, melodic, and built for songs about pressure, ambition, and endurance.
