This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
Some songs hit you before you even know why. “How” by HashimThaDream is one of those tracks. "How" is produced by KVG and Trini-Baby, and it grabs you from the very first kick of the drum kit, delivering authentic Soca vibes.
HashimThaDream glides across the rhythm like a seasoned vet, delivering vocals that feel effortless yet emotionally charged. The lyrics? They sneak up on you. You’re vibing, then suddenly asking yourself, “How did I end up here?” The lyrics leave you captivated, confused, and perhaps even intoxicated. It’s a relatable spiral, wrapped in melody and groove. You heard the saying, "Don't drink and drive," but for this scenario it becomes, "Don't drink too much when Feting!"
Trini-Baby's production, engineering, and background vocals elevate the track's texture. KVG brings the heat, and Kyle Peters—yes, again!—lays down both lead guitar and bass. Does this man ever sleep?
Written by Bjorn Graham and Hashim Lewis, “How” is more than a question—it’s a mood. A Carnival keeper. A first-play catch. "One for the road."
I have the utmost respect for the entire team. If you’re curating your 2026 playlist, don’t sleep on this one.
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, andSoundCloud. We recommend that you explore your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
