During my childhood in the Caribbean, dogs roamed freely throughout the neighborhood, showing no concern for people's safety. Dogs would 'rush you' if they were not a familiar person to the area. They could also be a nuisance, and it was common practice to chase them off, saying "Marsh Dog!" Today we present an electrifying music release by the artist known as Yung Image on the album titled "Television Set Riddim," released for Spice Mas 2025.
Playing this song fills the air with excitement. "Marsh Dog," written by Yung Image, was produced by DG Productions 473, mixed by NBR Studio (USA), and mastered by Bassline Mastering. This song has a vibe, and the songwriter cleverly used double entendre to disguise the true 'dog-culprit' in the song. The song reinterprets a common West Indian phrase, used to chase dogs away, to convey the message that unwanted company will not be tolerated and will be sent off in style. The refrain is a song of empowerment and taking control of your circumstances. It is a rallying cry urging the listener to stand firm, embrace your inner strength, and rid yourself of people who simply want to use you for what they can get from you.
We approve of the message and love the vibe of the song. If you are in the mood for feting, West Indian style, then get ready to sweat with this one. The beat is not Groove Soca but something approaching Power Soca speed, an in-betweener! This song will have you moving and having fun at summer carnivals in 2025. If you enjoy the song, please leave a comment, and don't forget to share this post with your social media peers.

The Red Rum Riddim is the latest Soca album release for upcoming carnivals in the Caribbean and the diaspora. One song in particular caught my attention. The song is "Every Time I See You" by Problem Child. Problem Child is a prolific songwriter and now music producer. He co-produced the album with DJ Ky. He is famous for delivering vibrant Soca tracks, but that is not the reason this song caught my attention; it was simply the title! "Every Time I See You" has sentimental value, and before hearing any of the songs, I connected with the song title.
Just imagine that you are at a fête and you see someone who makes you look a little longer than is comfortable for a social gathering. The atmosphere is perfect, and then the DJ drops this delightful vibe. Who is playing the music? DJ Ky gives a nod to Problem Child, signaling him to make his move. As the song sets the mood and that euphoric feeling of 'I am king' takes hold, Problem Child makes his move. Do you see yourself in that situation, or are you a daydreamer who dreams of 'what could be?' Problem Child ensured that he locked eyes with that special person, and with the music pounding, he made his move, and the world seemed to move to the beat of his heart... Yes, I daydream a lot; it's good for the soul!
There is a universal feeling and beauty in this song. The song's title draws me in with its unique vocals and charm. While there is a song for every mood on the Red Rum Riddim, we believe that the charm of this particular song will evoke a euphoric feeling, perfect for this carnival season in the Caribbean and North America. We love the song and believe you will feel the same after listening. Please let us know how you feel about the song, and don't forget to share this post with your social media peers.

"Gimme More" is the latest music release from the album titled "Red Rum Riddim." This song is one of my favorites from the album, which features six songs. Problem Child and Patrice Roberts, both bona fide Soca stars, collaborated to deliver another hit song in the making. We consider this collaboration a major success, resulting in a very captivating song that will have you dancing and anticipating the next fête you plan to attend.
So why do we praise this song? We will quote from the song: "There is nothing sweeter than Soca music. I just can't refuse it. Gimme more, gimme more!" Well, we are fans of sweet Soca music, and this one qualifies and goes to the top because of its infectious beat and catchy lyrics. Written by Shertz 'Problem Child' James and co-produced by DJ Ky Walcott and Problem Child, the song inspires dancing and grooving, making it an irresistible party song. The melody provides a feel-good experience, and as the artists ask you to "gimme more," we anticipate you'll want to play it again.
All you need to do is press play and enjoy this new release. This is a song you'll want on your playlist. One need not be a fan of these artists—after all, their music is widely appreciated—to recognize the value of a sweet, well-composed, and well-produced song. The dynamic duo of Patrice Roberts and Problem Child delivered a song that is bursting with energy and encourages the listener to want more! We love it, and I would simply add, "Gimme more!"

Just when it seemed that there would be a lull in soca music, we have learned that Kevin Lyttle is making a return! Hold on now, the list of artists on the newly released album "Red Rum Riddim" includes Vincy artists Problem Child, Kevin Lyttle, Dymez, and daPixel. From Trinidad, we have Patrice Roberts and Shal Marshall, along with US-born Trini artist Imani Ray, delivering excellent music. Finally, we have the golden voice of Teddyson John from Saint Lucia, who teamed up with Shal Marshall out of Trinidad. The result is a Caribbean love connection produced by DJ Ky Walcott and Problem Child of Problematic Media.
While the album showcases individual contributions, it is important to note the excellent collaborations that make this an album likely to receive positive reactions on social media. It is favored not only because it is the latest album released in a dry spell of music following Trinidad's carnival but also because the songs are outstanding. So what are the songs, singers, and collaborations? Here is the list:
- Hold Me—Kevin Lyttle (Saint Vincent)
- Every Time I See You—Problem Child (Saint Vincent)
- This Carnival—Imani Ray (US-born Trini artist)
- Doh Hold Back—Dymez x daPixel (Saint Vincent)
- Gimme More—Patrice Roberts x Problem Child (Trinidad x Saint Vincent)
- God Got Me—Shal Marshall x Teddyson John (Trinidad x Saint Lucia)
This is a feel-good collection of songs that showcases the unique essence of these artists. From Kevin Lyttle's signature voice and style to Problem Child's infectious energy, the album caters to fans of all these artists. Imani Ray rejoices in "This Carnival," while Dymez and daPixel are on the verge of gaining recognition beyond Saint Vincent with this song. Patrice Roberts is the Queen of Soca today, and her collaborations with Problem Child are consistently impressive. Lastly, a song that took us by surprise, "God Got Me" by Shal Marshall and Teddyson John—we approve of the message!
With so many artists representing different territories, it becomes challenging to pin down the specific territory the album embodies. The production team of DJ Ky Walcott and Problem Child hails from Barbados and Saint Vincent. The artists come from various regions of the diaspora, but the majority are from Saint Vincent. Regardless of location, the music remains sweet and impactful. So smile, applaud the music release, and explore all the songs. We love them all and would like to know your thoughts on this album release.
