12 TO 12 RIDDIM produced by DJ SMURF / 12 TO 12 RECORDS
12 To 12 Overview
In 2011, dancehall was bursting with new energy and bold rhythms. The 12 To 12 Riddim yard session tape became one of the year’s bashment highlights, capturing the spirit of the time with its fast-paced, lively sound. The riddim set the tone for parties and street dances, giving fans a soundtrack that truly matched the vibrant mood of the year. At the heart of this project was DJ SMURF, the producer behind 12 TO 12 RECORDS. Known for his sharp ear and ability to bring out the best in artists, DJ SMURF had already made a name for himself in the dancehall scene. His label was recognized for pushing fresh talent and crafting riddims that stood out in crowded playlists. With 12 To 12 Riddim, he proved again why his productions attracted both established stars and rising voices. The tape brought together a strong lineup. Beenie Man delivered “INFORMER,” a track that showed his skill at storytelling with a catchy hook. Bramma teamed up with Elephant Man for “DUH WEH MI WAAH,” a song that got dance floors moving with its playful energy. I-Octane’s “ONE TING MI KNO SAY” added a thoughtful touch, while Khago’s “GAL CLOTHES” brought humor and style. Mr. Vegas stirred things up with “WIFE VS MATEY,” a song full of drama and wit. The Twin of Twins series, with tracks like “FRAID A TWINS (EDIT)” and “PORKY'S DEMISE,” gave the tape its edge and personality.
