Whine Up Riddim – Hevs Records

2017 was still heavy in the dancehall riddim circuit, and Hevs Records’ Whine Up Riddim fits right into that run with eight cuts over one sleek, waistline-minded groove. Caution Banga comes in early with “One Drop She Drop, ” while Kinetic’s “Rass” and Leanny Frass’s “Look at My Chains” lean into the tune’s swaggering energy, and the instrumental sits cleanly in the middle as the backbone of the set. Hevs keeps the production tight and uncluttered, giving the vocalists room to ride the rhythm without crowding it, and the lineup also includes K Star, Shu Shu, Teeco, and Tek 9 for a proper cross-section of voices. The release clocks in at eight tracks, all produced by Hevs Records.
