Tyres Riddim – Benz Redsquare Connections

Tyres Riddim leans more open and melodic than a lot of Benz Redsquare Connections’ harder dancehall work, with a breezy swing that lets the vocals move without losing the pressure in the drums. Released in April 2021, it gathers 13 cuts and 13 different voices, and the lineup leans on names like Azwin, Boney Derrington, Challenger, Jay Ice, and the Kasino/Yaad Mob pairing. The strongest hooks come from “Upliftment” and “No Bad Vibes, ” both of which get radio edits alongside the full versions, a small clue that the producer was thinking about playability as much as street pull. That sequencing also gives the set a neat little push-pull: the more direct crowd pleasers sit right beside the rawer, moodier tracks, so the riddim keeps its shape while still moving through a few different shades.
