Haters Riddim – Soniclinks Productions

Haters Riddim lands in that mid-2019 dancehall pocket where the production stays lean and practical, with Soniclinks Productions giving the artists a trim, club-ready framework to work over. The lineup is small but varied enough to keep the pace moving: Chris Thomas-the-Ceo’s “Your Own, ” Della Rhymes on “Run Di Place, ” Zero1’s “DNA, ” and Paradax’s “Star Life” all get a turn, with raw versions included for the more stripped-back mix heads. It’s an eight-track set that runs just over 26 minutes, so there’s no wasted space, just straight forward stepping and quick vocal switches. The riddim keeps its weight in the low end and leaves room for the singers to cut through, which suits the conversational hook work and the clipped, marching drum pattern that carries the whole thing.
