Ricky T - Mass Attack

he wait for Saint Lucia Carnival Power Soca 2013 has ended with “Mass Attack” from Ricky T. A winner of multiple Soca crowns including 3 Power Soca and 5 Road March titles- Ricky T is leading the charge on this Rampage Riddim from Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic. “Mass Attack” is written by Ricky Joseph and Marley James; produced by Courtney "Curty" Louis and Satish Mathurin. This one is for the ladies, a call to soca arms so to speak. It comes with easy to follow instructions and a power beat to guide that process along. It also reminds the ladies not to let anyone take them away from the right to fete during Carnival and if anyone tries they need to “kick down the front door.” The rhymes, the lyrical style is quintessentially Ricky T with his, “My girl you giving me heart attack/I will give you the mass attack.” This ode to the Saint Lucian ladies, “his babies” is guaranteed to soothe the power soca beast that hungers in all of us.

Mongstar & Ambi - Merry Go Round

Ladies, the object of “Merry Go Round” is to have you “whining in a circle/make that bumper tick tock from left to right in a circle.” Your posterior, you see must operate like a propeller. So say Mongstar and Ambi on “Merry Go Round” from the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Rampage Riddim. It is written by Ricky Joseph, Marley James and Ambroise Joseph and produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Satish Mathurin. The Riddim allows for the rapid word play that should translate into quick action per instructions. You, ladies are called upon to “give waist” in a way that leads to “everybody giving her space/the woman whining like propeller.” You dip, you spin, you rotate, all “like a merry go round” whether you are in a fete, club or on the road for Last Lap.

Platinum George - Soca Platinum Style

It is fast, furious and designed to get you into a soca frenzy. While other artistes may have a difficult time keeping up with a Riddim worthy to be called Rampage, such is not the case for Platinum George who rides it like an expert bull rider showing the animal, in this case a beat, who is boss of the ring. So adept is he, his song is called “Soca Platinum Style.” In it, the man known to make his mouth contort like your waist is called upon to do, says “Move/Move/Move” in “Soca Platinum Style” What is that you ask? It is “jumping up mad/we getting on bad/I want to see rag, rag, rag/we breaking down fete/everybody wet.” Written by George St Croix and Marley James, “Platinum Style” is featured on the Dutch Productions/Stratosphere Muzic Rampage Riddim that is produced by Courtney “Curty” Louis and Satish Mathurin.
