Back To Bashment Riddim – Boogy Rankss

Boogy Rankss keeps doubling down on the kind of soca that lives for movement first and explanation second, and Back To Bashment Riddim fits that instinct. This is a 2026 release, and the title tells you exactly where it wants to land: in that bashment-soca pocket where dancehall attitude, carnival bounce and road-ready percussion all meet in the middle.

Boogy Rankss, born Norris Hamilton Jr. , has been in the soca lane since 2020 and has already carved out a name through records like Ba Ba Ben, Take Bamboo, Look Back and Baddest. He was England-born, raised in New York, and comes from West Indian roots, which goes a long way toward explaining why his productions tend to blur island traditions with a broader, international ear. That hybrid feel is part of his signature. He has a way of pairing catchy melodic lines with drums that push hard enough for fete settings without losing the playful snap that makes bashment soca work.

The rhythm itself feels like it was made for waistline business. It is not a sprawling riddim with a long guest list; it is a three-cut set, and that economy helps the project move with purpose. Stabby on Jiggle Up brings the most direct dance signal in the bunch, the sort of vocal that can turn a simple hook into a crowd response. D Truckman’s Bubblerz adds a more boisterous, party-forward angle, while Shyy Boogz on D Candle gives the riddim a fresher voice and a lighter touch. Shyy Boogz, who goes by Sheyenne Reid, is still emerging, but her Trinidadian, Bajan and St. Vincentian background, along with her ear for modern soca energy, makes her a natural fit here.

What makes the release work is the balance between familiarity and intent. Back To Bashment Riddim does not try to overcomplicate the formula. It taps into the old bashment-soca conversation and gives it a clean 2026 finish: tight percussion, easy-to-grab hooks and vocals that know exactly how to ride a rhythm like this.
