Before Morning Riddim – Kafrass

Before Morning Riddim is a lean 2017 Kafrass soca set that keeps the focus on the songs rather than any big-name lineup gimmick. With just five cuts, it pairs Sandman’s “Wink Eye, ” Blaka Dan’s cheeky “Post All Over She Wall, ” Pupa Leendi’s “Bolee (Do Me), ” Taxi Boi’s “Wreckless, ” and Propa and Slacky’s “Terrible” over one compact rhythm. The production sits in that fast, Carnival-ready pocket: bright percussive accents up top, a firm bass pulse underneath, and enough open space for each vocalist to work the hook without crowding the mix. It’s the kind of riddim built for road play, moving with a quick stride and a punchy, stop-start feel that keeps the energy tight through the whole 17-minute run.
