Dancehall collaborations comes once every so often, but when you do stumble across one they always leave you wondering the endless possibilities Dancehall still awaits for us. So naturally when you put Dutty Paul and the Gongzilla on the same track you're bound to have a 'Riot'.

The first collaboration for the iconoclastic musical mavericks, their individual Dancehall personas are combined on an electronic-dub step-esque backdrop with a back-and-forth wordplay parallel to that of Jay Z and Kanye West on their Watch the Throne album.

"He's been a friend of mine since prep school so this song has been a long time coming," explained Sean Paul about his relationship with Damian Marley and the creation of the collaboration to the Digital Spy earlier in June.

The social-commentary-plagued track spins reminiscent of the Damian Marley/ Skrillex Make It Bun Dem and acts as Paul's third single from his yet-to-be-titled sixth studio album due out this fall.

"Deal wid di yute dem right or else a riot gwaan start..."
