Dancehall Tide Overview
In 2017, dancehall was evolving quickly, with new riddims shaping the sound of the streets and the clubs. The Dancehall Tide Riddim arrived at just the right moment, adding a raw and energetic flavor that fit perfectly with the mood of the year. It brought together some of the scene's most talked-about voices and became a favorite at dancehall sessions across Jamaica and beyond. A big part of the riddim’s success comes down to its sound engineering. The beats are crisp and the bass hits hard, creating a foundation that lets each artist shine. Behind the scenes, ZJ CHROME PRODUCTIONS played a crucial role. Known for their work on major dancehall projects, the label has a reputation for delivering tracks that are both radio-ready and true to the dancehall core.

Masicka brings intensity on “Stop Talk To Me,” riding the riddim with sharp delivery and confidence. Ishawna’s “Know How Fi Dress” adds style and attitude, showing why she remains a standout voice in dancehall. Years later, the Dancehall Tide Riddim is still remembered as an important release.
