HOLD ON RIDDIM produced by CR203 RECORDS 2017
Hold On Overview
Hold On Riddim came together in 2017, when a group of dancehall artists and producers gathered in the studio to create something new for the genre. The project was guided by a clear creative vision: to mix tough deejay lyrics with smooth singing, building a sound that could work both in clubs and on the radio. The riddim’s direction was shaped by CR203 RECORDS, a label known in Jamaica for its modern approach to dancehall. CR203 RECORDS, led by Zj Chrome, has produced several hits over the years and is respected for bringing together top talent. Their careful production style and attention to detail helped make this release stand out. Each artist brought their own style to the riddim. Liquid’s track, "Too Much," features sharp lyrics and a catchy hook, showing his skill as a veteran deejay. Tifa’s "Kind Of A Big Deal" blends confident vocals with a playful energy, highlighting her unique voice in the dancehall scene. Vybz Kartel, known for his influence and creativity, delivered "Hold On (Goodman)," a song with clever wordplay and a memorable chorus. Wasp added a different edge with "Need You To Hate Me," using strong lyrics to express his point of view. The main instrumental, "Hold On Riddim," was released by Cr203 Records / Zj Chrome Records, giving DJs and fans a chance to enjoy the beat on its own. This dancehall set remains an important part of dancehall history, remembered for its mix of powerful performances and fresh production.
