Kingston 12 Riddim – Triple L Records

A lean, mid-tempo dancehall cut with a sharp, street-level bounce, Kingston 12 carries that early-2010s compilation feel where the voices do the heavy lifting over a clean instrumental. Triple L Records lines up a wide cast here, and the strongest pulls come from Nesbeth’s “Kingston 12 A Mi Yard, ” Potential Kid’s “Love Mi Mother, ” and Silver Cat’s “Some Gal Caan, ” with Determine also turning up for “Kingston Commandment. ” The release is sequenced like a proper riddim package, ending on the version, so you get the vocal selections first and the bare groove at the close. It was issued in 2012 and lists 14 tracks in all.
