DI BLOCK RIDDIM produced by HEVS RECORDS 2018
Di Block Overview
In 2018, HEVS RECORDS released a dancehall set that captured the rebellious spirit of its time. The project was built around the Di Block Riddim, a beat crafted with care and attention to detail. HEVS RECORDS, known for supporting new dancehall talent, used their studio skills to create a sound that was both fresh and true to the roots of the genre. The label had already made a name for itself with digital releases, helping to bring underground dancehall to a wider audience. The recording process for this set was all about energy and authenticity. Each artist brought their own style, recording vocals that matched the raw, driving riddim. Erok’s “Hustle Days” set the tone, with lyrics about daily struggles and ambition. Buss Head followed with “Hold It And Thug It,” a track that showed his signature tough delivery. Buss Head is recognized for his streetwise lyrics and has been featured on several regional dancehall compilations. Caution Banga’s “Gave Up On Me” added a personal touch, showing vulnerability over the heavy bass. Coppelly’s “Time Is The Minute” and David Best’s “Try With Me Self” each brought their own flavor, helping to round out the project. David Best, for example, is known in local circles for his energetic stage performances. Together, these artists shaped the sound of the set. The producer’s careful mixing and mastering made sure each voice stood out.
