AFROSOCA RIDDIM (SOCA) – OPTIMUS PRODUCTIONSTT 2015
Afrosoca Overview
In 2015, the Afrosoca Riddim became a favorite for soca DJs and fans. This riddim stood out with its lively island beats and bright energy. It quickly became a must-have anthem at parties and festivals that year. Compared to other soca drops of 2015, Afrosoca Riddim had a special blend of fast drums and catchy melodies. While some riddims from that era were heavy or electronic, this one kept the true island vibe strong. The arranger did a great job bringing together different styles, making each song feel fresh but still part of the same project. Blak Ryno’s “Inside” brought a dancehall edge to the riddim. Blak Ryno is known for his hit “Bike Back,” which showed his skills in both reggae and dancehall before he tried soca. Jw Blaze & Kimba’s “Feeling It” added smooth vocals and a joyful feeling, perfect for dancing. “Screws - Wine & Go Down” by 03 gave the riddim a classic soca party sound, encouraging everyone to move. Shradah X Nessa Preppy’s “Caribbean Girls” celebrated women of the islands. Nessa Preppy is well known in Trinidad for her hit “Tingo,” which became a big song during Carnival. Spyro’s “Champion Bubbler” finished the set with high energy, making it a favorite for DJs wanting to keep the crowd moving. Together, these songs showed the arranger’s skill in mixing voices and rhythms. The Afrosoca Riddim became a key anthem of soca in 2015, standing out for its upbeat sound and festival-ready style.
