Feel It Riddim (2026) – Irie Pen Records

Hopeton Lindo keeps the Irie Pen banner in familiar territory here, cutting another roots-minded juggling set that follows the label’s run of singer-driven reggae projects. The Feel It Riddim lands in 2026, and it carries that clean, melodic Hopeton Lindo feel: warm bass, a steady one-drop pulse, and enough open space for vocals to breathe without the arrangement getting crowded.

Luciano’s We Need To Unite sets the tone with a conscious message and an easy, veteran delivery, while Hopeton Lindo’s own title cut gives the rhythm its identity. Everton Blender’s Spiritual Man Remix brings in a more devotional edge, and Lukie D’s Lifetime Love and Fiona’s Love Don’t Fail Me keep the lovers-rock side of the project moving. Anthony Red Rose adds weight on Sorry Eyes, and Anthony Cruz’s Cyaah Lock Off De Dance gives the riddim a sharper dancehall push without breaking the overall flow.

The deeper charm of the release is how it moves between uplift, romance, and social commentary without sounding scattered. Peter G, Lady Tia, Inique, Taff, King Che, Steve Knight, and the other voices widen the palette, but the riddim never loses its calm, rootsy center. For listeners who follow Irie Pen, this sits neatly alongside the label’s singer compilations and confirms that Hopeton Lindo still knows how to frame a rhythm for experienced voices rather than chase noise.
