Most Wanted Records releases dancehall-soca rhythm

Offshoots of roots-reggae and calypso - dancehall and soca - emerged during the early 1980s in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, respectively.

Over the years, music producers have had success blending the uptempo genres. The 'Inviting' rhythm (second edition) is one of the latest dancehall-soca concoctions. Produced by Most Wanted Records, the eight-song project was released in June and has contributions from KipRich and Ras Ajai. Dewayne Taylor of Most Wanted Records said it was easy selecting performers for the rhythm.

"We contacted some of the artistes we had previously collaborated with. We also reached out to many other artistes who we believe could do a good job on the specific riddim we were about to release," he explained.

KipRich is the best known of those acts. His song is Suh Mi, while Ras Ajai -- who plays Jamaican enforcer Claudie Massop in the Bob Marley: One Love movie -- contributes the single Well Misbehave.

Dancehall Police ( Bam Bam), Banging ( Spin yuh Roll and Gwan Good) and Garrison Hawk ( Muscle Control) are some of the other artistes and songs on the rhythm.

Most Wanted Records made its debut nine years ago with the Pronutro compilation album. Two years ago, the label released its first edition of the Inviting beat.
