Block Factory Riddim – True Loyal Records

Block Factory Riddim came out in 2012 on True Loyal Records, with a short four-cut dancehall set that pairs veteran voices with then-rising energy. The release lists Lady G on “Need The Touch, ” Likkle Danjah on “Specialist, ” Macka Diamond on “Safe Sex, ” and Vybz Kartel with Gaza Slim on “Anything A Anything. ” The digital edition is dated December 5, 2012 and was issued through Zojak, which places it squarely in the early-2010s wave of clean, internet-era dancehall juggling. The catalogue around it shows True Loyal Records operating as a steady dancehall imprint, later returning with other riddims in the same lane.

The title fits the music: this is hard-edged, street-level dancehall with a blunt, industrial feel rather than a glossy crossover sheen. The cuts are built for forward motion, with deejay-style phrasing, tight hooks, and the kind of no-nonsense riddim structure that gives each artist room to stamp personality onto the same rhythm bed. Lady G brings seasoned control and a sharper female voice from a veteran who helped define the genre’s early dancehall era. Macka Diamond keeps the energy playful but direct on “Safe Sex, ” a fitting subject for her cheeky, crowd-friendly style. Likkle Danjah’s “Specialist” matters because it marks his early run with True Loyal Records and captures the newer, rawer edge of the period. The biggest pull is “Anything A Anything, ” where Vybz Kartel and Gaza Slim turn the riddim into a two-voice standout, mixing Kartel’s dominant delivery with Gaza Slim’s presence on a cut that helped give the release its strongest profile.
