Supa Kush Riddim – Supa Hype Diamond League

Supa Kush Riddim arrived in February 2018 from Supa Hype Diamond League, a name tied to dancehall production and juggling work that favors straight-up sound system energy. The release runs six cuts deep, with Gyptian getting the most space through both the clean Dweet and Done and a Raw version that shifts the tone without changing the pull of the rhythm. The riddim moves with a clipped, modern bounce and a feel built for fast hook work, blunt talk, and selector play.

The lineup gives the project a nice spread of voices. Gyptian, the Jamaican singer best known for crossing from rootsy, conscious material into smoother dancehall and lovers rock territory, brings a melodic edge to the opening pair. Gappy Ranks, the UK-born dancehall artist of Jamaican and Dominican heritage, links with Kush God and Cyaan Tiad on Run Lef Poverty, a cut that fits his long-running lane of streetwise, culture-minded writing. Tanto Black’s New Money (Remix) keeps the money talk active, while Iyara’s All Dem A Gwan pushes the rhythm with a sharper, more local dancehall cadence. Elephant Man closes with Snapchat Wine, and his high-energy delivery is a natural match for a track designed around party movement and quick-fire response.

What makes Supa Kush work is the contrast between Gyptian’s smoother handle on the riddim and the harder-edged dancehall cuts around him. The raw version and the Elephant Man track give the release its most immediate club weight.
