Cheat Code Riddim – Hattrick

Montego Bay’s Hattrick Recordz had this one moving through 2019 with a sharp, mid-tempo dancehall cut and a cast that leans fresh but hungry. The instrumental sits in that clean, digital pocket where the kick stays punchy and the synth line keeps darting forward, so a tune like Cracka Don’s “Hot Dolla” lands with extra bite, while Deeno D’s “5th Gen” and Kxng Jaymi’s “Bad Gyal” slide into the rhythm without overcomplicating it. That’s the charm here: enough space for each voice to catch, but still tight enough to keep the riddim’s swagger intact. Hattrick Recordz clearly had a busy run around the same period, and the whole set closes out with that small afterthought energy you only really notice once the last tune fades.
