Problem Child and DJ Ky Deliver a Soca Masterpiece with the Red Rum Riddim
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
Originally posted on the blog Sokah2Soca (www.sokah2soca.com). We bring you only the best new music, while Island Vybe Radio rocks it live on the air!
Just when it seemed that there would be a lull in soca music, we have learned that Kevin Lyttle is making a return! Hold on now, the list of artists on the newly released album "Red Rum Riddim" includes Vincy artists Problem Child, Kevin Lyttle, Dymez, and daPixel. From Trinidad, we have Patrice Roberts and Shal Marshall, along with US-born Trini artist Imani Ray, delivering excellent music. Finally, we have the golden voice of Teddyson John from Saint Lucia, who teamed up with Shal Marshall out of Trinidad. The result is a Caribbean love connection produced by DJ Ky Walcott and Problem Child of Problematic Media.
While the album showcases individual contributions, it is important to note the excellent collaborations that make this an album likely to receive positive reactions on social media. It is favored not only because it is the latest album released in a dry spell of music following Trinidad's carnival but also because the songs are outstanding. So what are the songs, singers, and collaborations? Here is the list:
- Hold Me—Kevin Lyttle (Saint Vincent)
- Every Time I See You—Problem Child (Saint Vincent)
- This Carnival—Imani Ray (US-born Trini artist)
- Doh Hold Back—Dymez x daPixel (Saint Vincent)
- Gimme More—Patrice Roberts x Problem Child (Trinidad x Saint Vincent)
- God Got Me—Shal Marshall x Teddyson John (Trinidad x Saint Lucia)
This is a feel-good collection of songs that showcases the unique essence of these artists. From Kevin Lyttle's signature voice and style to Problem Child's infectious energy, the album caters to fans of all these artists. Imani Ray rejoices in "This Carnival," while Dymez and daPixel are on the verge of gaining recognition beyond Saint Vincent with this song. Patrice Roberts is the Queen of Soca today, and her collaborations with Problem Child are consistently impressive. Lastly, a song that took us by surprise, "God Got Me" by Shal Marshall and Teddyson John—we approve of the message!
With so many artists representing different territories, it becomes challenging to pin down the specific territory the album embodies. The production team of DJ Ky Walcott and Problem Child hails from Barbados and Saint Vincent. The artists come from various regions of the diaspora, but the majority are from Saint Vincent. Regardless of location, the music remains sweet and impactful. So smile, applaud the music release, and explore all the songs. We love them all and would like to know your thoughts on this album release.
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections. While you should always buy music for sale, you should avoid sharing promotional music because it denies songwriters, producers, and artists important revenue.

Discover the Electrifying Energy of Yung Bredda's Latest Hit: Free Like a Bird
Ananda/Sokah2Soca
Originally posted on the blog Sokah2Soca (www.sokah2soca.com). We bring you only the best new music, while Island Vybe Radio rocks it live on the air!
Yung Bredda is all over the Caribbean, all over the news, but he is not over you! By touring the Caribbean region, this young man is enhancing his presence and should be present at every summer carnival in the Caribbean diaspora. One of the songs he released for Carnival 2025, "Free Like a Bird," which did not get much airplay, should be one that gets recognition for upcoming summer carnivals in the Caribbean Basin. The youth 'up-de-islands' will appreciate this song's message and its unique vibe.
"Free Like a Bird" by Yung Bredda, produced by Full Blown Entertainment and mixed by @n.m.g. music, is a powerful song aimed at the younger generation, featuring dynamic beats and universal appeal. One can surely understand why Yung Bredda resonates with the youth while simultaneously capturing the imagination of the mature soca and calypso audience.
Its infectious rhythm and heartfelt lyrics showcase Yung Bredda's versatility and ability to connect deeply with his listeners.
Why "Free Like A Bird" Is a Must-Hear:
- Dynamic Beats: From the very first note, the song grips you with its energetic beats and magnetic flow.
- Lyrical Genius: Full Blown Entertainment wrote a song that delivers a powerful message of freedom and self-expression that resonates deeply. Yung Bredda's rise to fame made this song 'stick with the younger Zesser Nation.'
- Universal Appeal: For those not familiar with Carnival and the feelings of the people during this period, we can state that "Free Like A Bird" feels like an anthem for the younger generation.
Now let's wrap our discussion up. It feels like Yung Bredda can do no wrong. His meteoric rise for Carnival 2025 is propelled by "Greatest Bend Over," along with his ability to deliver songs that showcase his ability to deliver songs across genres, including groove, Zess Soca and calypso. He may be one of the only 'new artists on the scene' to grow a following across the diaspora this quickly with enormous impact on the business.

Finding Comfort in the Groove: "One More Time" by Juls x Sevana
Ananda/Sokah2Soca

I was at the gym today, the second day now that winter is gone and I can tolerate walking to the gym in decent Spring weather, I came across a sweet vibe that I have to share here. It is time to step out of the Soca and Calypso zone and bring you something I consider feel-good music. The song is titled "One More Time" by Juls x Sevana. I am not the type of person who needs to listen to Power Soca to work out— just good vibes. I anticipate receiving positive feedback from you all on this one.
"One More Time" by Juls and Sevana is a 2022 release that blends lush production with sultry vocals, creating a warm, rhythmic atmosphere. The production, led by Juls, is minimalist and elegant, with a deep bass and delicate percussion. The melody is understated yet hypnotic, weaving a soothing and seductive atmosphere.
Sevana's voice is the soul of the track, gliding effortlessly over the instrumental. The song is perfect for late nights, quiet moments, and introspection. It invites listeners to unwind and feel, making it a mood-setting and enchanting piece of music. Having had the opportunity to listen to the song, please let me know if you would be interested in future posts featuring similar music.
