Hustling Hard Riddim – 7th Trumpeth Production

HUSTLING HARD RIDDIM produced by 7TH TRUMPETH PRODUCTION

A mid-2000s rootsy set like this leans on the usual single-riddim framework, but the pull here is the clean, workmanlike production from 7th Trumpeth Production and the way the voicings sit over it. Junior X opens with “Power Of Love, ” Zella Pow pushes the title-cut mentality on “Haffi Hustle Hard, ” and Jah Roots ft. Jah Meake add some lift on “Rocket, ” while Konstant’s “Royal Woman” and Turtle’s “My Application” keep the focus on everyday struggle and self-possession. Dhalia’s “Love Clown” gives the package a sharper emotional edge, which suits the no-frills instrumental version at the end. It’s a 2008 reggae riddim with seven tracks and a steady, grounded swing, carried by a firm bass line and a relaxed one-drop pulse.
