Submachine Gun Riddim – Sb Productions / Da Wiz Records

In 2021, when dancehall was still leaning hard on raw, hook-driven juggling projects, SB Productions and Da Wiz Records lined up Submachine Gun Riddim with a sharp, militant edge. The title fits: tracks like National’s “Street Genna, ” Villedon’s “Fight Fi Mi Life, ” NazzMar’s “Two Shooter, ” and Tsquare’s “Death and Destruction” all keep the energy tense and street-level, while Wayne Spice’s “New Money” and Keneil Merital’s “16” push the set in a more money-and-status direction. Da Wiz is also on the instrumental, which helps frame the riddim as a producer-led showcase rather than a loose vocal compilation. The sequencing runs from pressure to bravado, then closes with the bare riddim itself, a neat way of letting the beat speak after the voices have done their damage.
