Eye Charm Riddim (2018) – Diwali

Nine tracks deep and leaning on a tidy mix of veterans and one strong repeat name, Eye Charm Riddim lines up Zumjay twice, then folds in Assassin, Cherine Anderson, General Degree, Chico and Elephant Man for a 2018 dancehall set that keeps the energy moving without overcrowding the pocket. Lenky Marsden’s production sits in that bright, springy Diwali lane, with a sharp, skanking bounce and enough room for the vocal cuts to hit clean, especially on Assassin’s “Work Hard” and Elephant Man’s “Wine Yu Body. ” The release landed on November 2, 2018, and the full rundown closes with Marsden’s own instrumental, “Eye Charm Riddim, ” capping a nine-song sequence that runs from “Not Mine” through “Make U Scream” and into the title cut.
