Calling all Carnival Avengers, it's that time again! What are we talking about? We have new music out of Trinidad and Tobago as Carnival 2026 begins. Today's offering comes from the artist known as "Defprince" and his new release is already sparking conversation: "Iron Man"—a bold entry in the evolving genre of CalypSoca.
While it’s billed as Soca, this one leans heavy into Calypso’s storytelling soul, with lyrical finesse and melodic phrasing that pay homage to the genre’s roots. Think vintage vibes with a modern pulse—no frantic drum kit, just pure groove and grit.
"Iron Man" isn’t just a title—it’s a metaphor, a mood, and a musical stance. Get ready: September is coming, and so is the wave of Carnival 2026 releases. "Defprince" just set the tone.

Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections. While you should always buy music for sale, you should avoid sharing promotional music because it denies songwriters, producers, and artists important revenue. Please be aware that all of our posts are available online via social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend exploring your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
