Intercourse Riddim (2014) – Hitmaker Muzik

A sleek, mid-tempo dancehall cut with a bedroom-slick pulse, Intercourse Riddim leans on that tidy, slippery groove Hitmaker Muzik was already getting known for around the same period, just with a little more polish on the hooky side. The set is lean: Hitmaker’s “9 Months” appears in both clean and raw versions, Kalado’s “Gangsta Love” gets the same treatment, and Christopher Allen’s instrumental keeps the rhythm front and centre. Kalado is the real draw here, because his vocal rides the riddim with a harder edge than the title suggests, while Hitmaker’s own cut keeps the tone playful and suggestive without overplaying it. Issued in late November 2014, with 21st Hapilos Digital tied to the release, it sits neatly alongside the producer’s other cheeky, concept-driven dancehall projects from that run.
