The Musical Masquerade Riddim (2014) – Musical Masquerade

Muted heat. Musical Masquerade keeps this 2014 dancehall set tight and a little cheeky, with six cuts circling the same seductive lane but never sounding like dead weight. The headline draw is still Mavado linking with Jadakiss on “Just Like Magic, ” a cross-genre pairing that gives the riddim its biggest lift, while Pamputtae and Ranco push the nastier edge on “Mi Love Off Di Fuck” and the cleaner “Mi Love Off The Touch, ” two versions that let the concept run from raw to radio-ready. Erup’s “Sex On The Beach” and Propa Fade’s “Tell Me How You Like It” keep the temperature high, but Kafinal’s “When Your Body Is Calling” lands as the most direct close, a late-set groove that leaves the riddim on a steady simmer.
