CONTROL RIDDIM produced by FIRE LINKS PRODUCTIONS 2014
Control Overview
When “Control Riddim” arrived in 2014, it brought a fresh energy to dancehall sessions. Produced by FIRE LINKS PRODUCTIONS, the riddim quickly became a favorite at parties and yard sessions, blending the bashment flow with touches of hip hop, R&B, and electronic sounds. This mix gave the riddim a modern edge while keeping its roots in classic dancehall. Each artist on “Control Riddim” added their own style. Alkaline’s “Nuh Play Dat” stands out with its bold lyrics and sharp delivery. Beenie Man brings a confident, playful vibe with “Can Do,” showing why he is a mainstay in dancehall music. Bugle’s “Weak Heart” gives a thoughtful message, mixing conscious lyrics with the riddim’s high energy. Cham’s “Ex” adds a smooth, storytelling touch, while Don Husky’s “Pretty Face” keeps the party mood alive with catchy hooks. FIRE LINKS PRODUCTIONS, known for their strong presence in Jamaica’s dancehall scene, crafted the riddim with a clear vision for both the dancefloor and radio. Their experience as producers and selectors shines here, as the arrangement keeps dancers moving and listeners engaged. The bashment arranger’s work on “Control Riddim” helped tie together different styles, making the riddim flexible for any party or festival. Other tracks like Fire Links Productions’ “Control Riddim Instrumental,” Fire Linkz’s “Look We,” I Octane’s “Gonna Do,” Kalado’s “Walk Wid,” and Red Rose’s “Make It Happen” also show the riddim’s range. Together, these songs prove how bashment rhythms can blend with other genres and remain an important part of dancehall history.
