One Way Riddim (2019) – Hemton Music Group / Attomatic Records

One Way Riddim landed in 2019 as a sharp dancehall juggling from Hemton Music Group and Attomatic Records, with Mario Hemmings and Atto Wallace steering the production. Hemton and Attomatic had already been carving out a lane for street-ready modern dancehall, and this set sits comfortably in that run: lean, digital, and built for rotation.

The riddim has a clipped, urgent pulse that leaves plenty of room for the artists to crowd the pocket without turning messy. Vybz Kartel’s One Way gives the project its headline gravity, turning the title phrase into a tense, commanding hook. Squash’s Bandit pushes the energy harder, while Christopher Martin’s Dem Vex brings a smoother melodic touch without softening the edge. Chronic Law and Dane Ray’s Aha adds a darker, more conversational turn, and Konshens’ Sky Dweller lifts the temperature with his usual direct delivery. Demarco’s Kingston 20, Prohgres’ Easy Fi Change, and Shawn Storm’s All I Do help round out a lineup that balances proven names with voices that keep the riddim moving in different directions.

What makes the release work is the way it moves between swagger, warning, and everyday street commentary without losing its forward drive. Shatta Wale’s Vibration also widens the project beyond Jamaica, giving the riddim a stronger regional footprint. This is dancehall built for the clash of personalities as much as the beat itself, and the beat is sturdy enough to hold them all.
