DARK CITY RIDDIM produced by DONJALY 2015
Dark City Overview
The street anthem base has always given dancehall its raw and real feeling. In 2015, this energy was captured in the Dark City Riddim compilation. The riddim brought a new sound to dancehall parties and sessions, blending street influence with modern beats. Three artists made a mark on this project: Pompis, Vershon, and Wyckyd. Pompis, known for his strong presence in Caribbean music, contributed "Timoun Apree Zouk" to the compilation. Pompis is recognized for his hit "Zouker," which helped him reach audiences outside his native Martinique. Vershon joined with the track "Neva." Vershon is a Jamaican artist who gained attention with his breakout song "Inna Real Life." His music often appears on major Jamaican charts, and he is known for his smooth voice and catchy hooks. Wyckyd added to the riddim with "Dancehall Express." Though not as widely known as the others, Wyckyd’s song fits perfectly with the street vibe of the riddim. The producer behind this project is DONJALY. Known in the dancehall scene, DONJALY has worked on several riddims and is respected for his ability to mix genres and keep the sound fresh. His productions have earned thousands of streams and are played by selectors around the world. Even years after its release, selectors still choose tracks from Dark City Riddim for their sets.
