By Published September 14, 2025

Dive deeper into Caribbean music and culture at Sokah2Soca — your go-to source for Soca, Calypso, and Carnival coverage. First published on Sokah2Soca, now streaming live via Island Vybe Radio.

 
The wait is over, and the vibes are officially unleashed! NyceNation has dropped the Island Vibes Riddim, a new Soca compilation that’s already creating curiosity for Carnival 2026. Who are these artists, and can they impact the Soca music scene during Carnival 2026? They did the right thing to release this album early before the 'creme de la creme' started releasing new music. We can listen to and critique this album without skipping its songs in favor of those by established artists. This riddim is pure Caribbean vibes—crafted for the party scene or, as we love to say in the Caribbean, for feting with a vibe for every waistline ready to ramajay!

 

? Featured Tracks:

 

  • Cocoa Scorpion—Ramajay: Cocoa Scorpion kicks things off with “Ramajay,” a high-energy anthem written by the artist himself. It’s a call to free up, feel the rhythm, and let the spirit of Carnival take over.
  • Mista David - Sweetness: Mista David delivers “Sweetness,” a smooth, seductive groove penned by Cocoa Scorpion. It’s the kind of track that melts into your skin and makes you move without thinking.
  • Vybz Starr - Can’t Get Enough: Vybz Starr rounds out the trio with “Can’t Get Enough,” written by Ronell Berkley. It’s a hypnotic celebration of desire, rhythm, and the magnetic pull of Carnival love.

 

Get to know the album's songs and the artists. They may be unknown entities today but may impact the Soca scene in the future... you never know when or where the next Soca star will impact the industry. So, whether you're thinking about your costume for 2026 or just vibing in your headphones, this riddim could be your soundtrack to freedom, flavor, and full-on fete mode. Produced with precision by NyceNation, it’s a sonic passport to the heart of the Caribbean.
