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.

We’re officially adding a new name to our radar—and yours. Meet Imani, a male vocalist from Trinidad whose latest release, "In Front of Meh," just dropped and already has us vibing. The music feels good, the groove is clean, and his voice is captivating. Instantly likable. There's something refreshingly unforced about his delivery—confident without being loud, melodic without being predictable.
 
Though he’s still an unknown entity in the Soca scene, we’re betting that won’t last long. Sokah2Soca is proud to spotlight this rising talent and help bring awareness to an artist we believe is destined for big things in the industry. The production (by Twista, under Trini2dMax Ent) is tight, and the energy is right where it needs to be for a breakout moment.
 
Note for our followers:
Don't let the name confuse you: this is not Imani Ray, the female Soca artist with Trini roots based in NYC. We love her too—but this post is all about the male Imani from Trinidad. Despite sharing the same name, these two artists exude distinct vibes. We’ll be keeping track of both.
 
If you’re into discovering new voices before they blow up, this one’s for you. Let’s give Imani the love and visibility he deserves.
