Nikki G "The Voice" Reflects on 2024 while Looking Ahead to 2025!
Ananda/Sokah2Soca

What songs stayed with you this year? From groovy Soca beats to power-packed anthems, some tracks had us dancing at our desks and driving home a little too fast when the bouyon and dennery rhythms demanded it. Those vibes made me eager to hit the gym or head home!
Some DJs wondered if any good music was on the way, but as December hit—BAM!—a flood of tunes came through like a tsunami. Artists like Mical Teja, Voice the Artiste, and Bunji Garlin dropped fresh tracks for 2025, and the youth in the industry are taking Soca to new heights with bold creativity and vocals.
2024 delivered everything from playful hits like Trinidad Killa's "Terrance" to island flavors like Quan, Trilla G & Littleboy's "Hope You Find Someone Else," and dynamic collaborations like "Try Me" by Trilla G, Nailah Blackman, and others. Let’s not forget viral hits like Yung Brudda’s “The Greatest Bend Ova,” Kes's Cocotea, and lyrical gems like Mical Teja’s “Energy.”
We now have an abundance of music, re-fixes, and DJ mixes to choose from. Last week, I shared my personal favorites on Soka2Soca, so check that out if you missed it! Brace yourself for this curated mix of 2025 hits—a vibrant blend from across the Caribbean.
Special Thanks:
To my DJ family at Carbon Media Group—Caribbean DJs and Producers—thank you for your kindness, support, and for keeping me in the loop with the latest music and mixes. Your camaraderie is inspiring.
To Island Vybe Radio Fans:
I can’t believe it’s been a year! This station has become my second home, where I combine my love for music with my passion for podcasts like Table Talk. Meeting talented DJs who are so dedicated to their craft has been a privilege. Much love to the IV Board for continued success in 2025.
To my clients: You mean the world to me! Whether you’ve been with me for seven years or joined recently, I’m honored to be your voice for DJ mixes, ringtones, commercials, and more. Thank you for your trust!
To my family and friends: Thank you for supporting my crazy ideas and letting me be Nikki G.
And to anyone reading this—thank you for indulging my little rant. Although I had a lot to say, it's best to keep it brief and concise. Here’s to a joyful and prosperous 2025!
Thank you to Sokah2Soca for giving me space to feature my work, voice, clients, and DJs. The work you do does not go unnoticed; you are a replica of the energizer bunny with a Caribbean twist. Thanks for putting all our ideas to pen, aka the World Wide Web, and making them come alive... Keep up the fantastic work! #alleyesonyou!
With love,
The Voice: Nikki G.

"Leh We Play" elevates Patrice Roberts' artistry to unprecedented levels. Is she getting better, or has she simply mastered this music genre? Patrice's captivating presence, unwavering confidence, and impeccable control demonstrate her exceptional performance. Her vocals, recorded and produced in Trinidad by David "MillBeatz" Millien at MillBeatz Entertainment Studio, are nothing short of sensational.
From the moment the beat drops, "Leh We Play" grabs you with its infectious energy and doesn't let go. Perfectly crafted upbeat rhythm and excellent lyrical content keep you moving. Playing this track on repeat is a must, and it's no surprise that it's already creating a buzz as a strong contender for Road March honors.
