Nothing sparks the soul like a true Caribbean connection and “Rat Poison” by Jamaican artist Jay A and Guyanese producer Shaneiken is proof positive. Released as the lead single off the upcoming riddim for Shaneiken project, this track has already clocked 72,000 views on YouTube a stellar showing for a first drop that signifies big things ahead.

It’s more than a song it’s a cultural bridge, where Jamaica’s renowned energy merges with the vibrant pulse of Guyanese production. Debuting at #16 on GT Music Scene’s Hot Picks Top 30 – July 2025 chart, “Rat Poison” isn’t just making noise it’s setting the stage for something bigger.

Adding to the celebration, the track release arrived right around Shaneiken’s birthday, giving even more reason to toast his creative spark and recognize the man behind the riddim.

What’s Next: Who’s Joining the Riddim?

As the riddim for Shaneiken series rolls out, this begs the question: who else fits this winning formula? Who could step on the riddim and elevate it even further? Imagine:

• Cross-island features like artists from Trinidad, Barbados, or Belize linking with Guyana.

• Female voices bringing unique flavor and fresh perspectives.

• Genre blends mixing soca, reggaeton, or Afrobeat with dancehall.

This feels like the start of a sonic movement powered by collaboration, culture, and community.
