Love And Pride Riddim – Full Chaarge Records

Love And Pride Riddim comes from Full Chaarge Records, the dancehall imprint tied to ZJ Dymond, a selector-turned-producer with a catalogue that has leaned hard into juggling projects designed for sound-system play and artist rotation. This set is tagged to 2017 and sits alongside the label’s other mid-2010s dancehall work, where the emphasis is on strong hooks, clean arrangement, and enough space for each voice to land its message.

The riddim has a steady, uplifting pulse rather than anything overly aggressive. It feels built for reflection as much as forward motion, which fits the title: songs about perseverance, gratitude, struggle, and self-belief sit comfortably across the same bed. The mix gives the vocals room, so the personalities of the artists matter more than flashy production tricks.

I-Octane brings one of the most recognizable voices on the set with Them Use To Laugh (Tunnel Vision), a natural fit for his reflective, message-driven style. Bay C is featured twice with Mama Nuh Worry in radio and raw forms, a sign that the cut was meant to travel across both airplay and harder street sessions. Other voices on the rhythm include 1point, Diligence, D’Koncep, Esco, Free Speech, Prohgres, Sandi Patrice, Versi, Xklusive, Yanksta Carvanie, Zagga, Bryka, Shakespear D, and Dane Ray, giving the project a mix of established names and lesser-known singers and deejays.

What makes the release work is that it stays close to its theme without feeling repetitive. Prohgres on Fight The Fight and Zagga on 9 To 5 both push the same survival message from different angles, while Bay C’s tune adds a more immediate street-level edge. It is the kind of riddim that depends on conviction, and the artists here mostly meet it with that.
