Rytikal leads all-star dancehall line-up on explosive ‘Surato Juggling Medley Mix’
Dancehall star Rytikal is setting the pace for one of the summer’s most energetic releases, leading an all-star cast of deejays on the adrenaline-fuelled Surato Juggling Medley Mix, a collaboration between YUO101 Music and Robert Livingston’s Big Yard Music.
Released worldwide on July 31, the innovative 120-second medley revives the spirit of Jamaica’s classic juggling era, packing seven artistes onto one relentless riddim where each performer seamlessly hands the baton to the next.
The result is a high-octane showcase of modern dancehall that captures the lyrical warfare, infectious energy and sound system excitement that have long defined the genre.
Rytikal turns up the temperature with his gritty anthem Pon Me, injecting raw street energy into a production already bursting with momentum.
“This project is all about bringing back that authentic juggling vibe where every artiste has a moment to shine while keeping the energy flowing from beginning to end,” the producers said.
The Surato Juggling Medley Mix features an impressive line-up that includes Iwaata, Rude Link, Rytikal, Thrilla Rush, Kiprich, Quick Cook and Rik Rok, with each artiste delivering a distinct performance without interrupting the relentless pace of the riddim.
Iwaata immediately commands attention with the explosive Bring It To Me, before Rude Link keeps the momentum rolling with his commanding delivery.
Rytikal follows with the hard-hitting Pon Me, while Thrilla Rush injects melodic flair, delivering one of the medley’s most infectious hooks.
Veteran deejay Kiprich showcases his trademark lyrical precision on Watch That Pree, while Quick Cook drives the riddim forward with the bass-heavy street anthem Shake.
Closing the production is Rik Rok, the internationally acclaimed singer best known for his Grammy-winning collaboration with Shaggy on It Wasn’t Me, who delivers a polished finale that leaves listeners wanting an immediate replay.
The medley may last only two minutes, but it wastes none of them.
Built for selectors, clubs, radio, streaming playlists and social media, the production unfolds like a live sound clash, with each artiste feeding off the previous performance in an uninterrupted wave of energy.
When Surato Juggling drops, producers say the reaction is immediate.
Conversations stop. Drinks are forgotten. Phones come out. Whistles pierce the air. Before the final verse ends, someone is already shouting, “Wheel it! Pull up!”
The chemistry between the seven performers transforms the record into more than just another juggling riddim—it becomes a celebration of dancehall’s competitive spirit, where every artiste arrives determined to outshine the last.
The release also marks another significant collaboration between YUO101 Music and legendary producer Robert Livingston’s Big Yard Music, combining Livingston’s decades of international success with a fresh creative vision aimed squarely at today’s dancehall audience.
With its rapid-fire performances, infectious riddim and all-star roster, Surato Juggling Medley Mix looks poised to become one of the season’s standout dancehall releases—and a guaranteed fixture wherever DJs, selectors and sound systems keep Jamaica’s musical heartbeat alive.
