The Hawk Riddim – Magic Touch Productions

The Hawk Riddim from Magic Touch Productions has that late-2010s reggae-riddim feel: a steady, rolling backbone that leaves room for the singers to lean into conscious themes without crowding the mix. Fantan Mojah’s “Jah Rule” and Jah Thunder’s “Jah Is Around” give it real weight, while Eesah’s “Live Mi Life” and Dean-I’s “Redemption” push the spiritual side of the set, all of it moving through a nine-track lineup with no stray filler and a clean 2019 production credit from Magic Touch Recording Productions. The track list also runs through Jupita, Boomazz, King Dawad, Trilla Blackx and Spontaneous, which keeps the vibe varied without breaking the riddim’s forward motion. It lands with nine songs in all, capped by Dean-I’s “Redemption. ”
