DIAMOND RIDDIM produced by TMI RECORDS 1999
Diamond Overview
In 1999, the Diamond Riddim became a favorite on dancehall dance floors. This riddim, produced by TMI RECORDS, stood out because of its strong horn melodies and energetic beats. TMI RECORDS, known for shaping unique dancehall sounds, helped make this riddim memorable in the late 1990s. The label has worked on several influential projects in the dancehall scene. The Diamond Riddim is special because it mixes dancehall with other styles. The horn sections give it a touch of reggae roots, while the fast tempo brings in the excitement of club music. This blend made it popular at bashment parties, where people wanted both energy and rhythm. Three artists made big contributions to this set. Carlos Carlton’s track, "Some People," brought catchy hooks and a confident flow. Daweh Congo, known for his roots reggae style and his album "Militancy," delivered "Diamond In The Rush," adding a conscious message to the riddim. Lady Killa’s song, "Not In Love With You," gave the set a strong female voice, making the riddim more diverse. Together, these artists and TMI RECORDS created a project that was both fresh and lasting. The Diamond Riddim’s mix of dancehall, reggae, and club sounds kept it moving on the dance floors of 1999 and beyond.
