5. Machel Montano, “Need It”

machel-montano-need-it

The uptempo beat to “Need It” sweeps you off your feet again and again within the short distance of four minutes. This monster hit from Machel, produced by LA-based, Trinidadian producer London Future, is a fusion of so many sweet rhythms that it’s overwhelmingly good. And if that isn’t enough, there’s a mellow sample of Bob Marley’s “Jammin” that comes in at the end to heal your soul. It’s definitely a mood lifter with a fitting title, as it always leaves you needing more.  Undoubtedly one of those ‘on-repeat’ type of songs. — Kamara Williams
