Holding Firm Riddim – Short Boss Records

By 2021, dancehall was in that lean, no-nonsense mode where the riddim had to carry the energy, and Holding Firm does it with a tight, mid-tempo pull and a sturdy one-drop-to-dancehall feel that leaves space for the vocals to cut through. Short Boss Records keeps the production economical and steady, with a few featured cuts lifting the set: Guspy Warrior’s “Keep Holding Firm” and Soul Jah Love’s “Start Afresh” give the project its clearest lift, while Fire G and the rest of the crew ride the pattern without crowding it. It’s a nine-track set that moves quickly, and the instrumental has enough grit and bounce to make the whole thing feel locked in rather than overworked.
