TWELVE THIRTY RIDDIM produced by DIAMOND INK PRODUCTIONS 2014
Twelve Thirty Overview
In 2014, dancehall was bursting with new energy, and the Twelve Thirty Riddim set found its place as a standout project of the year. The sound was bold and fresh, matching the vibes of the time when bashment parties and street dances were the heartbeat of Jamaica’s music scene. Behind this riddim was the talented arranger who brought together a mix of rising and established voices, letting both shine over a hard-hitting rhythm. DIAMOND INK PRODUCTIONS, the label behind this release, played a key role. Known for pushing new talent and delivering dancehall anthems, DIAMOND INK PRODUCTIONS built a reputation for quality and consistency. Their work helped shape the sound of the early 2010s, and this riddim was no exception, quickly gaining attention in local and international dancehall circles. The artists on the set each brought something unique. Chino Linkz Ft The Jempress came strong with “We A Party,” a track that captures the spirit of celebration and unity. The Jempress also delivered “We A Party — We A Party,” showing her ability to command attention with her voice and lyrics. Alozade’s “Bottle Pon Bottle” added a party anthem for the dance. Laden’s “Neva Dirty” brought his signature flow and positive vibes. Munga gave us “Wah U Do To Mi (Clean) &,” adding a catchy, melodic touch. Other artists like Navino with “Links Dem Tall,” Nicoteen’s “Snakes On A Plane (Clean) &,” Sany G’s “Bend Dem Back (Clean) &,” Anarahk’s “12-30 (Clean) &,” and Dozen Ft Christoph’s “12-30” all contributed to the riddim’s dynamic sound. This dancehall set remains a milestone, giving new artists their break and making a lasting impact on the genre’s history.
