If you’ve ever wondered what happens when two Trini men, a pet store, and a pile of guinea pig poop collide—wonder no more. "Guinea Pig" is an unexpected yet hilariously funny soca comedy anthem that will have you both laughing and dancing at the same time. These guys are really funny; they pulled their act off, deserving four stars. 
 

The music video begins with Ro’dey and Preedy dressed as pet store employees, arguing about who must pick up the "too too," which refers to poop! These are genuine Trini issues. Just when you think it couldn’t get more chaotic, two ladies stroll in—and the fellas switch from sanitation to seduction faster than a Carnival costume change.

 

The men try to impress the ladies, but the ladies have different intentions. They came for guinea pigs, not guinea men. After getting roasted like Sunday breadfruit, Ro’dey and Preedy decide: no discount, no vibes, full price! But then—plot twist—the ladies fall in love… with the guinea pigs. And the song. And maybe even the idea that these fellas could love them like they love their furry friends.

 

DJ Punz is ready to explode on the Soca scene. Produced, mixed, and mastered by the ever-vibey DJ Punz, this track is pure soca mischief with a melody that sticks harder than pet store hay in a Carnival boot. Is it early for a 2026 release? Maybe. But when the vibes hit, time is irrelevant.

 

So what do we really think about the video and music? Guinea pigs are adorable. Ro’dey and Preedy are hilarious. Do you like this song? This song is definitely worth listening to, and hopefully you will hear it on the radio soon. But did the artists release the song too early? Perhaps the verdict is still pending. Then again, Carnival 2026 might just have its first unofficial banger that you will have on replay. Laugh with the guys but vibe with the music. Here comes Punz!

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.
