Sweet Riddim (2018) – Hammer Musik

2018 reggae release Sweet Riddim from Hammer Musik brings together a warm, acoustic-leaning twist on the riddim format, pairing familiar voices with a softer, more intimate presentation. The lineup leans heavily on Beres Hammond with See You Again and Happy Heart, alongside Gramps Morgan’s One In A Million, Freddie Mcgregor’s Keep On Coming Back, Marcia Griffiths’ When You Giving Your Heart, and Duane Stephenson’s 24 Hours. Tracks like Richie Stephens’ Hey Joe and Chuck Fenda’s Oh Lord Forgive Them help keep the emotional swing across the set, while the title cut from Kemar Flava Mcgregor closes things out. Hammer Musik is known for backing reggae projects out of Germany, and this one showcases their knack for gathering major artists around the same instrumental idea.
