Haard Target Riddim – Quality Records

Hard-edged. Quality Records keeps Haard Target Riddim lean and direct, with five cuts and no wasted motion: Munga’s “Run, ” Teejay’s “No Where To Run To, ” I Waata’s title track, Ice Cold’s “Everywhere, ” and Kootan’s “War Dem. ” The title alone sets the mood, and the artists stay locked into that hunted, pressure-cooker theme over a compact 2017 dancehall set that runs just 21 minutes. Apple Music lists it as a seven-song release, while the core riddim archive points to five vocal tracks, so the package seems to have circulated in more than one form. Munga and Teejay are the first names to catch, but I Waata’s “Hard Target” gives the project its clearest center. It was released in March 2017.
