The summer has just began and selectors say Work Out and Unfinished Business rhythms are increasing the summer heat.
The Work Out rhythm is produced by Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor of Big Ship while the Unfinished Business rhythm is a TJ Records production.
"Work Out, Work Out, Work Out," says a vibrant Nikki Z, Zip FM disc jock. "Every song on the Work Out rhythm. Work Out is the bomb it comes first. Almost every single on it is a hit. Even the younger artistes did very good."
She says rhythms like Unfinished Business, Record Shop by Jam 2 and Leftside's Sand Fly are also doing well.
For Biggy, of the selecting duo Razz and Biggy, Unfinished Business is also a favourite as it features 'hot' songs like Serani's No Games, So Special by Mavado and Assassin's Jah Guide and Protect Me.

Nonetheless, he likes Work Out because "a nuff gal song deh pon it". "Is a rhythm for di girls. Mi love when di girls dem move," he says, while noting that it features Laden's Do Your Thing, Vybz Kartel's Touch Me and Mavado's Push David Push.
Though he says those songs will only get more airplay as the summer progresses, he believes singles like the remix of Mama Still Hungry with Serani and Mavado and Stepping The Future by Mavado will strongly impact the dancehall scene when they are released.
Stephen 'Supa Hype' Davis agrees that Work Out encourages women to dance. "When di girl dem hear Work Out dem ben' ova same time," he told THE STAR as he praised his rhythm Club Fusion as a rhythm that will be hot for the season as well.
He says both Unfinished Business and Work Out are favourites in the dancehall and he believes the response to them will grow.
"Dem bad, dem have di vibes and dem move di crowd. From di people dem like it, wi (selectors) a go like it 'cause wi nuh out deh fi mek dem like it," he says.
According to Alton 'Fire Blacks' Cos, of Area Code 876, Work Out is also doing well based on the response he gets when he plays the rhythm at different events. He says Unfinished Business is gaining momentum and believes that by the end of the summer it will be extremely popular.
