Bubalups Riddim – Various Soca Artists

Bubalups Riddim, issued in 2000 as a various-artists soca set, pulls together Bunji Garlin, Iwer George, KMC, Krosfyah, General Grant, Flava, Maga Dan, and Radioactive and Hoppi on one lively cut. Top Shotter Gyal, Mama Doh Like, All De Bottom Is Yours, Big Bad Dog, and Sexy Body are among the better-known tunes on the tracklist, while General Grant’s Done Buy We Ting appears in both the original and Part. 2 versions. Bunji Garlin was still early in his rise here, and the lineup leans into the energetic, carnival-ready side of the era. The riddim has that unmistakable early-2000s soca-to-dancehall crossover feel, with a bright, fast-moving groove that keeps the whole release bouncing.
