I Wish Overview

If you love roots reggae from the early 1990s, the I Wish Riddim album collection is a must-listen. This collection was recorded during the classic 1993 reggae sessions and captures the true spirit of the era. The riddim has a deep, soulful sound that stands out compared to other collections from the same period, which often mixed in more dancehall or digital styles. On this album, Beres Hammond delivers “I Wish,” showing his signature smooth voice and heartfelt delivery.
