Light Up Riddim (2017) – Fatta 5 Music

2017 was a busy year for dancehall riddims that leaned on clean, radio-ready hooks and message songs, and Light Up Riddim fits right into that moment with a compact six-track run from Fatta 5 Music. The set pairs Esco’s title cut, Raine Seville’s positive-minded “Think Positive, ” Bay-C’s sharper “Love Of Money, ” Sherida Sharpe’s “We Believe, ” and Delly Ranx on “Never Lose Focus, ” so the project moves between uplift, caution, and straight dancehall grit without losing its shape. Fatta 5 keeps the production uncluttered and forward-driving, with a tight drum pattern, a steady bass pulse, and enough open space for each vocalist to cut through. Steven Henry’s instrumental version closes it out cleanly, and the whole riddim sits at a brisk mid-tempo that gives the songs room to ride the groove rather than fight it.
