Heat Check

This track was born from a real headline: Record-breaking heat waves in 2025-2026: 2025 hottest year on record, March 2026 West Coast heat dome hitting 100F+, temperatures 20-35 degrees above average, earliest 100-degree readings ever recorded, Texas recording possible hottest US winter temperature at 106F. The lyrics weave in verified details — 2025 was the hottest year on record globally; Scientists say 2026 could be worse; March 2026 West Coast heat dome with temperatures 20-35F above average. Muckraker's reggaeton production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "People sleeping in their cars, the AC never runs" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — intense, sweltering, defiant — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.

[verse 1] Hundred and six in Texas on a February night Falcon Dam just set a record, winter burning bright Hottest winter reading in the history of the States The thermometer keeps climbing, smashing through the gates Twenty-twenty-five was the hottest year on file Scientists are saying twenty-six could top it by a mile The heat dome sitting heavy on the whole West Coast March in California feeling like an August roast Twenty to thirty-five degrees above the norm The desert isn't special now, the suburbs are the storm Bangor, Maine hit seventy, earliest they've ever seen A hundred years of records and the warmest March machine [chorus] Heat check, heat check Another record down today Heat check, heat check The planet's got something to say Heat check, heat check The mercury won't stop, it won't obey Heat check [verse 2] San Diego breaking records every afternoon All-time March highs from Phoenix to Cancun The concrete holds the temperature until the morning comes People sleeping in their cars, the AC never runs Heat stroke in the shelters where the homeless try to stay Eleven hundred dead in Europe just the other day The grid is straining, brownouts rolling block by block Fifty million sweating through a March that doesn't stop They told us one point five was where the line was drawn We blew past one point five and now the line is gone Every year it's hotter and we say it's just a phase But the records keep on breaking and the planet's in a blaze [chorus] Heat check, heat check Another record down today Heat check, heat check The planet's got something to say Heat check, heat check The mercury won't stop, it won't obey Heat check [bridge] Your grandfather remembers when the summer had an end When September brought a cool breeze and the autumn was a friend Now the heat starts in the winter and it burns through to the fall And the weatherman keeps saying this could be the hottest of them all Heat check, heat check The old records don't mean a thing [chorus] Heat check, heat check Another record down today Heat check, heat check The planet's got something to say Heat check, heat check The mercury won't stop, it won't obey Heat check [outro] Heat check, heat check The mercury won't stop Heat check, heat check The mercury won't stop Heat check
