Hamma Business Riddim – Fe2 Music

Alkaline’s “Me Don’t Love You Gyal” gives the Hamma Business Riddim its sharpest edge, and FE2 Music wisely lets that tune set the tone before Jahmiel, Romain Virgo, Beenie Man, and Masicka step in with their own takes. It’s a 2017 juggling with a clean, mid-tempo knock and enough room for the hooky, radio-ready side of dancehall without losing the streetwise pull that keeps the better riddim projects moving. The dual raw and clean versions of Alkaline and Masicka’s cuts underline how FE2 was packaging the thing for both curbside play and airplay, which fits the label’s more commercial-minded approach around that period. In the end, Hamma Business sits neatly in the FE2 catalogue as a compact, singer-and-deejay friendly dancehall set with enough star power to carry the whole rhythm.
