Dutty Mas Riddim – Young Talent Entertainment

By 2013, soca was leaning hard into the road-season energy, and Dutty Mas Riddim fits that moment with a compact two-song set from Young Talent Entertainment. The release keeps the focus tight: Creff’s “Getting Licks (Animal Abuse)” and Sniper’s “Looking For Cup, ” both riding the same carnival-minded production without any wasted motion. It’s a short riddim, but that economy gives the pattern more weight, with the rhythm section doing the heavy lifting and the vocals carrying the crowd-ready attitude. Young Talent’s approach here feels geared toward parade time rather than radio polish, keeping the arrangement direct and physical. What ties it together is the tempo and the driving bass pulse underneath it, the kind of soca framework that leaves room for call-and-response phrasing and quick, punchy delivery.
