Hey Yo Riddim – 4th Genna X G3 Muzik

Compared with the looser, more crowded multi-voice dancehall projects 4th Genna and G3 Muzik have put out around that period, Hey Yo Riddim feels stripped back and sharply focused: just three artists, each given a clean and raw cut, plus the instrumental at the end. The hook is Aidonia’s “Hey Yo, ” which arrived on the same 2016 run that put his name firmly in the modern dancehall mix, while Govana, still billed here as Deablo, and Jayds keep the energy moving with “Oh Gosh” and “Orange Hill. ” Released on May 6, 2016 and running just 24 minutes, it has the kind of tight sequencing that suggests the producers wanted the riddim to circulate as a compact promo package, with each song paired off before the instrumental closes things out.
