Jiggz, Damis, Ray Ali (AKA DMNDGang) | ‘DMND, Vol I’
Diamond Gang is taking over Miami with the release of ‘DMND VOL. 1’ by Jiggz and Damis on August 24. The drop is the start of a collection of EP’s Jiggz and Damis have been working on together with the production of Ray Ali. Together the group is known as “Diamond Gang/Diamond Global” with a strong vision to impact the culture of the music. The guys explained their inspiration to be summer vibes, but they wanted to push their personal style and spin on a summer project.
Each member is from Miami, Florida with Caribbean backgrounds (Haiti and Dominican Republic) that can be heard in the groups unique sounds. My personal favorites from the EP are Cabo and Dream.
Cabo is a perfect summer song with some Caribbean beats mixed with modern and new sounds. Jiggz and Damis really set a vibe, each showing off their bars and melodic vocals throughout the track. Listening to Jiggz and Damis ride the catchy beat, produced by Ray Ali, has me bobbing my head automatically.
While discussing Ray’s creative process he called himself “The World’s Best Kept Secret,” explaining how many different vibes he can create that will shock the world, and I have to agree. This project alone showed me multiple sides of the producer, and how talented he truly is. The most inspiring thing he shared with me was the idea of not identifying himself to one individual sound, “I don’t limit myself to having a sound, because I am capable of creating anything without a doubt.”
DMND Gang plans to continue building their music and brand as a trio with much more to come. ‘DMND Vol. I’ is only the beginning of consistent drops from the trio. This is definitely a collective you want to keep an eye on, they are just getting started.
