In 2014, the bashment flow brought new energy to dancehall, giving selectors exciting tracks for the dancehall nights. The Time Check Riddim was a big part of this movement.

Artists like Black J, Budfire, and Celcius played important roles. Black J’s song, "Ndivatipe," is known for its catchy hook and strong delivery. Budfire’s "Dairaiwo" adds a smooth vibe, while Celcius shines on "Hobho Mavoice" with his unique voice. Cymble Fire’s "Lyf Ye Maghetto Yuts" brings a message for the youth, and Empress Shelly’s "Baba Na Mai" adds a powerful female perspective.
