Steel Wheel Riddim – Taxi Records

Produced by Sly Dunbar for Taxi Records and One Pop Music, Steel Wheel Riddim arrived in 2024 as a dancehall juggling with a strong roots-and-rockers feel and a lineup that mixes veteran voices with newer names. Ambelique’s I’m The One, Anthony Red Rose’s Silence, Bryan Art’s A Just Life and Tanto Metro and Devonte’s Lord Lead The Way are among the key cuts, with Hawkeye also showing up twice on Hand Up Deh and The Thing Set. Taxi’s Kingston roots go back to 1974, and that long history shows in the polished, band-driven approach here, while the multilingual El Jamiquino and Hopeton Lindo help give the riddim a wider Caribbean touch.
