Million Smile Riddim – Neqzrecords

In 2021, when dancehall was still leaning hard into fresh digital riddims and young voices trying to break through the noise, Neqzrecords put out Million Smile Riddim with a neat ten-track lineup and no wasted space. The strongest pull here is the mix of emerging names — 1DRE3 on “Eyes Open, ” Onique on “Path, ” and Mykal Read on “Keep Elevating” — riding a brisk, straightforward pattern that leaves room for the hooks to land without crowding the mix, while the instrumental sits right there in the sequence to let the production speak for itself. Released on April 2, 2021, the set runs 10 songs and clocks in at about 35 minutes.
