Top Shelf Riddim (2018) – Sekimhaj Production

Sekimhaj Production comes at Top Shelf Riddim with a more stripped, street-level dancehall cut than the glossy one-drop fare the title might suggest, and that’s where its appeal sits. The set lines up Neerak’s “Complicated” in both clean and raw versions, plus Sassive’s “You Alone, ” Soulji’s “Shell, ” Quality’s “Quick Cash, ” and Johnny Smooth’s “Real Hard, ” so the project leans on a compact roster and a handful of alternate takes rather than a crowded vocal showcase. The riddim itself keeps a dry, forward-pushing feel, with a firm kick pattern, clipped snares, and bass that stays low and steady instead of getting too flashy. It leaves room for the voices to carry the tension, especially on the raw mixes, where the delivery feels a little more blunt and less polished. By the end, the whole thing hangs on that mid-tempo chop and the cold, weighty bassline underneath it.
