In Zone Riddim 2012

“In Zone Riddim 2012” comes across like a lean, party-ready dancehall set rather than one of those sprawling 2012 compilations, with just seven cuts and a tight little lineup around the rhythm. Shango’s “Brace It” and D East’s “Wine and Bubble” do the heavy lifting on the vocal side, while Spoonaz goes straight for the cheekier corner of the dance with “Pumpum Song. ” Kalex’s “Pianist” sounds like the kind of tune that would stick in a selector’s crate because the title alone hints at a playful twist, and the version closes things out cleanly so the riddim gets to speak for itself. Dropping in 2012, it sits right in that period when dancehall was still chasing raw street energy without overcomplicating the formula.
