Dark Night Riddim produced by Nardo Bless Records 2023
Dark Night Overview
In the heart of Kingston, the yard beat that would become the Dark Night Riddim started as a simple drum pattern. The producer behind the sound, Nardo Bless Records, is known for pushing the raw edge of dancehall. With a history of steady releases since the late 2010s, the label has built a reputation for streetwise anthems that connect with the core of the dancehall community. Their tracks have racked up thousands of streams online, keeping their name in the conversation among dancehall fans. As the riddim took shape, it moved from a small studio session to the wider yard, where artists tested their vocals against its driving bass. Izula was the first to lay down vocals, bringing a gritty delivery to "Rough Place." Tyastar followed with "Out My Life," a track that showed off the artist’s sharp lyricism. Dhoani added his own color with "Pepto Bismol," a song that stood out for its playful wordplay. Jah Strike rounded out the session with "Romance," adding a smoother, melodic vibe to the project. Each artist brought their own style, but the riddim tied everything together with its undeniable energy. For Izula, the session was another step after his earlier breakout in the dancehall scene. Tyastar, already known for his 2022 single "No Drama," used this yard session to show a different side. When the Dark Night Riddim finally dropped, it quickly became a dancehall anthem for 2023, blasting from speakers at every street party and yard session.
