"Since Ah Small" is a genre-bridging song known as "Dancehall Soca," not Calypso or Soca. When you listen to the  song it is easy to understand why it was labeled "Dancehall Soca." Dancehall Soca was still evolving in the late '80s, blending Jamaican Dancehall vibes with the undeniable energy of Soca. Becket, always an innovator, embraced this fusion effortlessly in "Since Ah Small." His delivery—playful yet commanding—captures the spirit of storytelling that makes Caribbean music so rich.

"Since Ah Small" was arranged by the legendary Frankie McIntosh and featured on the 1988 album Soca Dance Party. Both Becket and Frankie McIntosh are beloved Vincentians who created excellent music that crossed borders long before soca replaced calypso as the preferred music for Caribbean-style carnivals. 

Efforts to preserve and reintroduce songs like "Since Ah Small" go beyond nostalgia—they safeguard the legacy of artists like Becket, whose contributions deserve continued celebration. His work, alongside Frankie McIntosh, stands as a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of Caribbean music.

It is always a challenge to reintroduce songs like Becket's "Since Ah Small" to a generation that speaks Zess Soca, Dennery Segment and Bouyon. It's the "older heads" who demand the preservation and resurgence of these classic songs. Any generation will always appreciate excellent music, I assure you. The music of Frankie McIntosh and Becket is worth making the effort to bring to this generation of listeners. Today's music can be monotonous at times; listening to a song like "Since ah Small" can be invigorating and is a credit to  these talented sons of Saint Vincent. 

Although the vibe is rooted in Jab Grenada, each artist contributes a unique flavor, making sure that regardless of where you are—whether in Grenada, Trinidad, Barbados, Saint Lucia, or elsewhere—the riddim feels like home. Carnival revelers across the Caribbean and beyond, which includes the diaspora, will crave the infectious melodies and lyrical brilliance of pure Caribbean carnival bliss. 

The beauty of this album (riddim) lies in its unique mix of Caribbean artistry, and while Grenada's Spice Mas serves as the launchpad, this album ensures that Saint Lucia, Barbados, and eventually all the Caribbean carnivals in North America experience this vibe. It matters not if you are chipping to the music in the Caribbean or North America; the feeling will be pure carnival joy. 

Every island of the Caribbean has a unique Soca feel. Trinidad, known for its abundance of Groove Soca, was wonderful; now we also have the Jab style, Vincy Ragga style, Saint Lucia's Dennery Segment, traditional Soca, Barbados's unique Bajan style with Spouge influences, and Dominica's Bouyon. The Sinners Riddim is here, and 2025 is one for the books. Elevate the intensity and ignite the excitement of Carnival! You can find something suitable for every island and simply press play to immerse yourself in the atmosphere.
