FIRST MOVE RIDDIM produced by HARDBALL ENTERTAINMENT 2017
First Move Overview
In 2017, dancehall was alive with energy and new sounds. One of the standout releases that year was the First Move Riddim, a club-ready project that captured the rebellious spirit of its time. The riddim came from HARDBALL ENTERTAINMENT, a label known for pushing fresh talent and energetic productions in the Jamaican music scene. The First Move Riddim brought together several artists, each adding their own style to the project. D’koncep delivered the track "weh me wah reach," showing off a powerful and determined flow. Dee queen’s "money man" stood out with her confident delivery, making a mark as one of the few female voices on the riddim. Echo dan’s song "3rd leg" carried a bold attitude, matching the riddim’s raw dancehall vibes. Gage, already known in dancehall for his hit "Throat," added his own touch with "chatty natty." His presence on the riddim brought even more attention, as he was recognized for his energetic performances and unique voice. Insideeus contributed "in to my heart," giving the riddim a smooth, melodic edge while keeping the dancehall spirit alive. Together, these artists made the First Move Riddim a true reflection of 2017’s dancehall sound—rebellious, catchy, and full of life. The riddim remains a favorite for selectors and fans, remembered as one of the pure dancehall sounds of its year.
