A 17-track juggling with 19 different voices, First Semester Dancehall Riddim keeps the focus on heavyweight names and sharp 2010-era dancehall energy, pulling in Anthony B, Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Jah Cure, Mr Vegas, Shaggy, and Wayne Marshall across one ARTB production. The line that jumps out early is Anthony B’s “Free Up The General, ” but Beenie Man’s “Draw Mi Out” and Buju Banton’s “Rock Yuh Body” help anchor the set, while “Click Mi Finger” from Erup nods to the brighter, punchier side of the riddim. It’s a broad, radio-friendly cut of the sound from that period, with singjay hooks sitting next to more straight-ahead chat and a few crossover touches, including Kevin Lyttle’s “Only You (Extended Mix)” and the Spragga Benz and I Octane pairing on “Hurt Mi. ” The full sequence runs through 17 tracks, closing with Wayne Marshall’s “What A Day. ”
