First Prize Riddim – First Name Music

First Prize Riddim was released in 2005 by First Name Music, pulling together a big dancehall lineup that includes Assassin, Capleton, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Mr. Vegas and Wayne Marshall. The set leans into the brash, early-2000s juggling style, with tracks like Assassin’s Break You Down, Elephant Man’s Money and Wayne Marshall’s Lead The Way giving it plenty of energy. It also features cuts from Macka Diamond, Cecile and Spragga Benz, which helps round out the various voices on the rhythm. The riddim was issued as a 23-track project, making it one of those releases that captures the crowded, competitive sound of the 2005 dancehall era.
