First Flirt Riddim – Y-Not Productions

Quick spark. Y-Not Productions keeps First Flirt Riddim tight and sly, with just six cuts and a waistline-slim 90 BPM pulse that leaves room for the hooks and the jabs to land clean. Eschoninco’s “Horny” and King Youth’s “Roll Wid Us” lean into the cheeky, party-minded side of the riddim, while Eklypse steals some attention with “Inna Mi Style (Kranium Diss), ” the track that gives the set its sharpest edge. Released in October 2016, it comes off like a neat follow-up to the producer’s earlier dancehall work rather than some grand reinvention, carrying the same lean, street-level energy heard on Y-Not’s other early-2010s projects. It sits comfortably in the label’s catalogue as one of those compact 2016 dancehall sets that keeps the focus on attitude, a few strong voices, and one memorable diss.
