BELAFONT RIDDIM (SOCA) – KUBIYASHI PRODUCTIONS 2015
Belafont Overview
If you love island parties, you might remember the Belafont Riddim from 2015. This soca compilation became a favorite for DJs, who often played tracks more than once during a set. The riddim brought together some of the best voices in soca, each adding their own style and energy. Destra Garcia’s track, "Normal," stands out on the compilation. Destra is known across the Caribbean for her powerful performances and hits like "Lucy." She has won multiple awards at the International Soca Monarch competition, showing her status as a soca queen. On "Normal," her voice rides the riddim smoothly, making it a must-play at any fete. Fya Empress, with "Woke It Up," brings another strong vibe. Fya Empress is well-respected in the soca world and won the 2012 Calypso Monarch title in St. Vincent. Her song on this riddim keeps the party energy high. Voice, known for his hit "Cheers to Life," delivers "Vision" on this release. Voice has won the International Soca Monarch title three times in a row, starting in 2016. His song adds a fresh sound to the mix. Skinny Fabulous, with "Argument Done," adds his signature power to the compilation. Skinny Fabulous is known for his energetic performances and has collaborated with artists like Machel Montano. The Belafont Riddim was produced by Stadic, who is known for crafting catchy soca beats. Even today, this collection brings back memories of 2015 parties, with tracks that still get crowds moving.
