Konshens has his eyes on an island chain thousands of miles from Kingston. In a new Facebook post, the dancehall star pointed fans toward the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean off East Africa, and to an artist going by king_pusso, along with a project called “Ram Riddim.”
“Bruh DANCEHALL is so GLOBAL🌍🌎🌏!!” Konshens wrote, before adding, “hear how dem do tings inna SEYCHELLES!!” He capped it with Jamaican and Seychellois flag emojis, a couple of fire emojis next to king_pusso’s name, and one last word: “loading…”
That last word is doing a lot of work. Loading” suggests “Ram Riddim” isn’t out yet, and the post doesn’t give a release date, a tracklist, or any detail on who’s producing it.
It also doesn’t say how deeply Konshens is involved, so there’s an open question about whether he’s on the riddim himself or using his platform to put a spotlight on someone else’s work.
That distinction matters in dancehall, where a riddim is typically a shared instrumental voiced by a handful of different artists.
A riddim drop can be a collaborative showcase as much as a single release. If “Ram Riddim” follows that format, it could carry more than one voice, though nothing in the post confirms who else might appear.
What the post does make clear is how Konshens frames the moment. His excitement isn’t really about one song. It’s about the genre’s reach, the idea that dancehall built in Jamaica is now being made on its own terms in places like the Seychelles.
That framing fits an artist whose own records have travelled well beyond the island. Tracks like “Gal a Bubble” and “Bruk Off Yuh Back” became dancehall staples far outside Jamaica, and Konshens has long been one of the scene’s more internationally minded voices.
A shout-out from him carries weight with dancehall listeners who might never have come across a Seychellois artist otherwise.
There are two ways to read a post like this. One is as a straightforward co-sign, a established Jamaican name opening a door for an artist from a much smaller market.
The other is as a sign of something bigger, where the genre’s center of gravity is spreading out and Jamaican artists are as curious about what’s happening abroad as overseas fans have always been about Kingston.
Both readings can be true at once, and the post leaves room for either. For now, the only firm facts are the names, the flags, and the riddim’s title. King Pusso’s profile outside the Seychelles is about to get a serious push, and “Ram Riddim” is still loading.
