Campesh Riddim – Mr. Roots

CAMPESH RIDDIM (SOCA) – MR. ROOTS 2013

Campesh Overview

Pupa Leendi, Terror Kid, and Version are the key voices behind one of 2013’s most memorable soca releases. Each artist brought their own style to the Campesh Riddim, a compilation that powered countless parties and street parades that year. Pupa Leendi is well known in the soca world, especially for his hit song “BMW.” His energetic delivery and catchy hooks have made him a favorite at Caribbean festivals. Terror Kid’s track “Permission” added a different flavor to the riddim, showing his skill for blending lively lyrics with danceable beats. Version contributed the instrumental “Campesh Riddim,” which set the foundation for the whole project. The heart of this compilation is the truck anthem base—a driving rhythm that kept sound systems pumping and crowds moving. The riddim was carefully crafted to capture both the old-school vibes and new energy of modern soca. The producer behind Campesh Riddim, although not always in the spotlight, played a crucial role in shaping the sound. Their work helped the tracks stand out during the busy carnival season. Even today, the beats from Campesh Riddim bring back memories of 2013’s wildest fetes. The songs—Pupa Leendi’s “BMW,” Terror Kid’s “Permission,” and Version’s “Campesh Riddim”—remain favorites for DJs and soca fans. This compilation is a strong example of how the right mix of artists and rhythms can create music that lasts far beyond its first release.
