Start your weekend with a taste of Raw Honey—because Patrice Roberts just dropped a track that’s sticky, sexy, and straight-up Soca seduction. “Sweet Spot,” from the Raw Honey Riddim, is not just a song—it’s a mood, a movement, a magnet for every real party animal who’s “full of speed and full of action.” Something tells me that someone added a little 'Mad Honey' to the sweetness!
 
The music production? Pure vibes. Shertz James, also known as Problem Child, wrote the song, while Jahmal Dee of Papo Production composed and produced it, featuring sweet vocals from Patrice, resulting in a pure sexy vibe. Patrice leads the charge with her signature sass, inviting you to that favorite spot where the music’s loud, the waistlines are loose, and the energy is borderline “crazy.” It’s the kind of place where you don’t just dance—you lose yourself.
 
But let’s talk about Raw Honey. This isn’t just about a party location. That “sweet spot” is the unspoken niceness, the sensual center of attention, the place men chase and women command. It’s a double entendre done right—sweet, sticky, and impossible to ignore.
 
So whether you’re liming, wining (whining), or just sipping something strong, Patrice is here to remind you: the weekend starts where the sweetness lives.
 
Press play. Find your spot. Get Raw. ?

Arima’s own Vernice “Trini Baby” Herreira is rewriting the rules with her latest release, Ouu La La. This isn’t your typical jump-and-wave Soca—it’s a genre-blending groove that sways with Kompa finesse and whispers with vocal intimacy. Trini Baby isn’t just singing; she’s producing, mixing, mastering, and styling her sound from the inside out.
 
The track’s DNA is unmistakably Caribbean: Soca rhythm, Kompa soul, and lyrical joy. But it’s the execution that sets it apart. With Kyle Peters on guitars and bass and background vocals from Thiery’s World, Attalia, LAEL, and Trini Baby herself, Ouu La La feels like a collective celebration of sound. The lyric video, released via JulianspromosTV, is already gaining traction, and the YouTube comments are glowing.
 
Trini Baby’s recent feature with Voice on Sweet Music showed she could hold her own alongside established stars. But Ouu La La proves she’s building her own lane—one that’s smooth, smart, and regionally expansive. Expect this track to resonate not just in Trinidad but across the northern Caribbean, where Kompa’s heartbeat is strong.
 
I know that Haitians can exploit this music with their dance style; the music emphasizes smooth, intimate partner movements, not the whining style that Trinidad is known for... but change is coming!
 
Trinidad continues to produce excellent young and upcoming talent, but Trini Baby isn't just a rising star. She’s a rising standard.

The images, the storytelling, and the magic of our creative artists bring back memories that still reside in my soul. Mical Teja’s latest release, Last Train ?, written and produced with Tano, is more than a song—it’s a cinematic journey through heartbreak, history, and heritage. I grew up while trains ran in Trinidad and for those of us who grew up there, the imagery hits deep. I remember the railway system that once connected Arima to Port of Spain, a lifeline of movement and memory now lost to time. Teja resurrects that buried nostalgia, using the defunct rail as both metaphor and memory.
 
The music video opens with urgency: a phone call pleading to stop a wedding to a “money man from Sando,” and the promise of intervention via the last train. What follows is lyrical magic and the unraveling of late-night calls, emotional entanglements, and the painful clarity that love—however passionate—sometimes needs to end. Acting at the right time can make a significant difference. The final train delivers a powerful truth: "Nobody wins" in a relationship built on longing and compromise. 
 
Is he going to stop the marriage? Well, as the video unfolds, we see the bride still reaching out, even on her wedding day, torn between duty and desire. Teja’s character boards the symbolic last train, heading toward a moment of reckoning. It’s a story of love interrupted, of choosing self-respect over romantic rescue, and of using music to revisit a Trinidadian past that still lives in our bones.   To be honest, this narrative is about a woman who is caught between two men, a provider and a lover. The lover, who is Teja, knows three things: he can't give her the life she wants, he knows how to make her feel good and loved, and finally, he is the Horner man!
 
Give credit to the video production team and the actors involved in making this video and storytelling imagery possible. The images, clothing, and old-school look are just wonderful. We applaud Twin Island Company for a job well done!
 
The story is a masterclass in songwriting. The story draws you into this love story—where cultural memory meets emotional truth. Teja doesn’t just sing; he stages a drama that feels personal, political, and poetic. For Sokah2Soca, the music is the kind of artistry we celebrate: clever, rooted, and emotionally resonant.
 
Now, after you listen to the song and watch the video, let’s talk: Did the train ?  ever run through your childhood too?
