X6 RIDDIM produced by ROCKERS MIX / DR ZED 2012
X6 Overview
In 2012, the X6 Riddim sound system cut arrived and quickly became a turning point for dancehall. The journey began in a small but busy studio, where the hands of skilled engineers shaped the raw tracks into a club-ready riddim. The producer behind it all, ROCKERS MIX / DR ZED, was already known for crafting authentic island sounds. With a history of working on several underground dancehall projects, DR ZED’s experience brought a rich, unmistakable vibe to the riddim. The compilation was a launchpad for new voices in dancehall. Krispi B stood out with the energetic "Nhasi Tirikufara," a track that later helped him reach wider audiences. Nicko Tee’s "Handidhakwe" added a bold, confident tone, while Artaz And Dj Tinah brought a catchy groove with "Tiri Kudiwa." Sligga’s "Bhutsu Yangu" and Distinction’s "Ngano" both showcased the fresh talent bubbling up at the time. Some of these artists, like Krispi B, went on to enjoy more success, with Krispi B later collaborating with other regional acts and earning radio play across the Caribbean. Each song on the X6 Riddim reflected the hunger and creativity of the artists. The studio hand made sure every vocal and beat was crisp, keeping the energy high. Looking back, the X6 Riddim sound system cut helped keep dancehall alive in 2012. It gave a new generation of artists their first real break, and its impact is still remembered by fans who were there when it hit the dance floors.
