Ilabash Overview
Back in 2012, the Ilabash Riddim arrived and quickly caught the attention of dancehall fans. This was not just another dancehall set. It mixed dancehall energy with modern drill-inspired beats, making it sound fresh and different from other selector’s mixes of the time. While many other riddim sets stuck to the classic dancehall style, Ilabash Riddim stood out because of its bold rhythms and sharp production. What made this set special was how it helped new artists get noticed. Selectors often use their mixes to introduce new voices, but Ilabash Riddim did this with extra style and power. Even though some selectors focused on big names or old favorites, this one gave newcomers a real chance to shine. Two songs really stood out on this riddim: Konshens — Nah Vote and Vybz Kartel — Dem Bwoy. Both tracks showed off the artists’ unique styles and gave the riddim a strong, memorable sound. These songs became favorites at parties and on the radio, helping the riddim gain popularity. The producer behind it all, H20 / ZJ LIQUID, played a big role in shaping the sound. Known for his work as a DJ and producer in Jamaica, H20 / ZJ LIQUID has helped bring many artists to the spotlight. With his label and production skills, he made sure each track on Ilabash Riddim had strong vocal harmonies and high energy. Today, Ilabash Riddim is still remembered as an important part of dancehall history. It gave both new and established artists a platform, and its fresh sound influenced other selectors and producers in the years that followed.
