Rising star Natalie Storm is already making a name for herself as one of the most exciting dancehall vocalists around, both as part of the TNT crew alongside Tifa and Timberlee and also in her solo work with producers like Ward 21, Enur and Cordell 'Skatta' Burrell.

Now she's stepped out from behind the mic and installed herself in front of the mixing desk to produce the Cheez Trix riddim, a stuttering slice of retro ragga:

The first batch of vocals on the riddim to hit the streets (or, er, the internet) features two other female artists alongside Natalie's own version.

Newcomer Tiki is a recent winner of Jamaican dancehall's answer to Pop Idol, Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall. Now she's working with super producer Skatta (the man behind riddims like Coolie Dance, Martial Arts and Bad Company) and generally going on very good indeed.

Part three of the Cheez Trix trio comes from relative veteran Macka Diamond:

Biggggg riddddimmm. I reckon Natalie takes the crown for her version, quality chorus. I dig Tiki on that trebled-up tip @2mins. The 'woyyyy' hook in both of 'em is big.

Third on the Tiki tip -- the refrain "excitement" contrasts nicely with the cool understatement of her vocals.
