Mighty Diamond League Riddim (2016) – Upt 007 Records

Mighty Diamond League Riddim comes packed with a crowded dancehall lineup that leans on names like Gyptian, Kalado, Khago, Shawn Storm and Voicemail, with Devin Di Dakta and Future Fambo adding extra heat to the mix. The cut rides a brisk, mid-2010s bashment pulse, all sharp drum snaps and digital bounce, the kind of rhythm that leaves room for deejays to punch in with quick one-liners and party-friendly hooks. UPT 007 Records issued it in 2016 as a two-part project, and this first volume runs right through to the instrumental before closing out with Voicemail’s “Dancehall Nice, ” which feels like a neat final stamp on the whole set.
