War Of The Gods Riddim – Feddaweight Production|Mansion Records

Some riddims just come in with a proper warning shot, and War Of The Gods does that by lining up I-Octane, Mavado, Jahmiel, Flexxx and Chase Cross over a gritty 2015 dancehall cut from Feddaweight Production and Mansion Records. The big pull here is the attitude in the titles alone — “Dem Nu Bad, ” “Mak 90, ” “Stuck Inna Mi Ways, ” “Not A Nice Guy” — and the music matches that mood with a hard, militant edge rather than anything glossy or playful. I-Octane’s “Dem Nu Bad” and Mavado’s “Mak 90” sit right in the pocket, while Jahmiel brings a sharper, more introspective turn on “Stuck Inna Mi Ways. ” The project landed in December 2015 and runs ten tracks in all, including the instrumental.
