Child Jib Jab Riddim – Various Artists

This sits in the 2016 St. Vincent soca run around 4th Dimension Productions, and it’s a lean three-song set rather than a crowded carnival compilation. The cut carries that bright, party-forward island pulse: Keith Currency’s “Forklift” and Skarpyon’s “Freaky Freaky” keep the energy up with sharp hooks and a quick-stepping groove, while Problem Child’s “All These Years” adds a more melodic, reflective turn without slowing the riddim down. The whole thing runs just under eight minutes, so it moves fast and leaves little fat on the bone. If you want the clearest snapshot of the project’s feel, the closing “Freaky Freaky” and the instrumental push behind it tell you exactly where this one is headed.
