IYANOLA RIDDIM produced by STRATOSPHERE MUZIC 2013
Iyanola Overview
The 2013 soca compilation built around the Iyanola Riddim quickly became a favorite at Caribbean festivals. The tracklist included Mongstar — Saint Lucia We Love, Ambi — Madam La, Jay Budz — Pumping, Marie — Ann - Fall In Love, Mr Killa — Do You Wanna Party, and Scady — Hey Scady. Each song brought something special, making the riddim stand out that year. Mongstar’s “Saint Lucia We Love” became an anthem for the island. Mongstar is well known in Saint Lucia, especially for winning the 2012 Saint Lucia Groovy Monarch competition. Ambi’s “Madam La” added a playful energy that fit perfectly with the festival scene. Jay Budz kept the crowd moving with “Pumping,” a track that matched the riddim’s lively groove. Marie — Ann’s “Fall In Love” brought a softer, romantic touch, while Mr Killa’s “Do You Wanna Party” was a call to the dancefloor. Mr Killa, from Grenada, is widely recognized for his 2019 hit “Run Wid It,” which made him the first non-Trinidadian to win the International Soca Monarch title. Scady’s “Hey Scady” rounded out the compilation, making sure every party had a track for every mood. Behind the scenes, STRATOSPHERE MUZIC produced the riddim. The label is known for working with a range of soca and Caribbean artists, and their productions have reached audiences across the region. The band leader’s vision helped shape the project, ensuring it captured the spirit of 2013. Looking back, no major fete in 2013 was complete without the Iyanola Riddim compilation playing at some point in the night.
