Fresh Island Overview
The Fresh Island Riddim brought together some of dancehall’s most respected and rising voices. Konshens, known for his international hit “Bruk Off Yuh Back,” brings his signature energy to “Money & Gyal.” Qraig, one half of the popular duo Voicemail, adds his smooth style with “Be Careful.” Lutan Fyah, who has built a strong career in both reggae and dancehall, delivers “Number One Fan.” Chuck Fenda, famous for the classic “Gash Dem,” contributes “One Burner.” Heidi Tiffany, a new talent on the scene, shines with “True Love.” Other artists on the riddim include Jahzi Lee with “Far Away,” Dre Ja with “Mind Control,” Cathy Matete with “African Men,” and Jah Izrehl with “Money Needed.” Each artist brings their own flavor, but together, their songs ride the same infectious rhythm. The riddim’s modern bashment flow is crafted by ZJ DYMOND, a well-known Jamaican producer and selector. ZJ DYMOND is recognized for his work with top dancehall acts and for producing hits like “High Altitude Riddim.” His label, Full Chaarge Records, has helped shape the sound of contemporary dancehall.
