Real Ganster She Hold Me by Hawkeye Polish: A Dancehall Gem from 2005
Alright, let’s talk about Real Ganster She Hold Me by Hawkeye Polish. This album dropped back in 2005 under S & B Productions, and it's got that raw Jamaican vibe we all love. If you’re into reggae with a heavy dose of dancehall swagger, this one’s for you. It’s not perfect—there are moments where it feels rough around the edges—but isn’t that kinda the point? Let’s dive into a couple tracks that really stuck with me.
First up is “She Hold Me.” Man, this tune just grabs you. The beat is bouncy but laid-back, like those summer nights when everything feels right in the world. Hawkeye Polish has this way of delivering lyrics that feel personal, almost like he’s telling you his story over a cold Red Stripe. The hook? Super catchy. You’ll find yourself humming it hours later. What I dig most is how simple yet effective it is—it doesn’t try too hard, which makes it hit even harder.
Then there’s “Real Gangster.” Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually into songs throwing around gangster vibes so casually, but this track does something different. It’s more reflective than braggadocious. The rhythm is crisp, and the bassline hits just right, making it impossible not to move. There’s a moment halfway through where the music drops out, leaving only Hawkeye’s voice, and it gives me chills every time. Feels like he’s letting you in on something real, ya know?
What’s wild about this album is how unpolished it feels compared to today’s stuff. These days, everything’s auto-tuned and layered to death, but Real Ganster She Hold Me keeps it authentic. It reminds me of sitting on a beach chair, sand between my toes, listening to someone who’s lived life and wants to share it through music.
Here’s the kicker though—listening to this album made me realize how much we take simplicity for granted. In an era of flashy visuals and endless streaming playlists, Hawkeye Polish proves that sometimes all you need is a good beat, honest lyrics, and a little soul. Oh, and fun fact: if you ever see him live (if he tours again), bring your dancing shoes because these tracks slap HARD in person!
So yeah, give this album a spin if you want some old-school Jamaican flavor. It might not change your life, but it’ll definitely make your day brighter. And hey, maybe it’ll inspire you to write your own story—or at least bust a move or two.
