Yung Bredda's popularity is rapidly growing, particularly in the Caribbean and North America, and his performance on We Outside 76 demonstrates his charisma and rhythmic ability to effortlessly navigate any riddim. Backed by DJ Hotty and SoundBoy Ryan on the 1’s and 2’s, this mix is a celebration of Caribbean-Latin fusion—Chutney meets Reggaeton, and the result is pure vibes.
?? For the Venezuelans in Trinidad, this one hits home, yes, there is a sprinkle of latin vibes in the presentation. The Latin tracks woven into the mix offer a familiar pulse, while the Chutney elements keep it grounded in Trini flavor. It’s a sonic bridge between cultures, and Sokah2Soca is proud to be part of that movement—bringing the best music to the world.
Whether you’re liming in Brooklyn or Queens, or just cruising through Curepe, or just vibing in your headphones, We Outside 76 is your soundtrack for joy, movement, and connection. Vibes all the way; the joy shown by Yung Bredda and his team just adds to the enjoyment.
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.

Honey Butter Riddim Is Serving Kompa Heat for Carnival 2026: Butter Up Your Playlist

As Carnival season intensifies, the Soca scene is exploding with new releases. We noticed that some of the newly released songs, including this album, have embraced sweet and sexy Kompa (Konpa) rhythms. We love the fusion. However, because of the constant and abundant music releases, we decided to do this post to feature all four songs on the album. Let's put it this way: we simply needed one buttery spotlight.
To be honest, I am not confident that Trinidad DJs and the general public will embrace this Kompa-infused rhythm for a Soca-based Carnival culture. I am keeping hope alive for his album as it relates to my Trini posse. This Honey Butter Riddim is not just another entry in the Carnival catalog—it’s a curated vibe. Produced, mixed, and mastered by N.M.G Music for Trinidad & Tobago’s 2026 Carnival. All guitar and bass licks are by Kyle Peters, lending to this Kompa-kissed riddim. The vibe is smooth, sweet, and unapologetically Caribbean. So instead of slicing it up, Sokah2Soca is serving the whole spread right here.
This album is not just a riddim—it’s a mood. A groove. This song serves as a tribute to the gentler side of Carnival. Let’s break it down:
- "OnlyFans"—Yung Bredda is surprising the Soca industry with his controlled sensual vocals on the Honey Butter Riddim. He is bringing joy to fans of the French-Creole musical style, effortlessly blending with the Kompa-infused production. After all, Kompa is Haiti’s sensual side gifted to the world, and Bredda knows how to honor that legacy. Lyrically, he’s all heart: “more than a lover,” “I am your only man”—this is intimacy with intention. The video adds visual heat by featuring dancers and a striking model who amplify the song’s romantic and energetic pulse. With over 46,000 views on YouTube in just 10 days, “Only Fans” is already making waves.
- “Butter”—Nadia Batson She’s not just singing—she’s sizzling. Nadia channels heat, desire, and that melt-in-your-mouth kind of passion. It is Kompa with a Soca soul, and it will have you slipping into something sweet.
- “Smooth Criminal”—Freetown Collective. There is no need to steal hearts when they are freely given. TThis song is for the lovers who know that vulnerability is strength. Freetown delivers tenderness with swagger, and we’re here for it.
- “Dancin”—Adam O. Weekend warriors, this is your anthem. Adam O invites you to leave the stress behind and step into joy. It has island vibes that are pure and simple—just press play and move.
- “No Complaints”—Preedy” Written by Josiah Noray, this mellow magnet pulls you close and keeps you there. It captures the essence of Carnival intimacy through slow wine, soft smiles, and a day that feels endless. No stress. No fuss. No complaints.
The Honey Butter Album/Riddim demonstrates that Carnival is not only about pace but also emphasizes the importance of rhythm. It's about emotions. It's about vibe. Sokah2Soca celebrates this buttery brilliance, along with the artists who brought it to life.
