Elevate Riddim (2026) – Monk Music

Monk Music and Battalion Music’s 2026 Elevate Riddim brings a tight three-song soca set fronted by a big lineup that includes Machel Montano, Nailah Blackman, DJ Private Ryan, Badjohn Republic, Aisha Noel, Sekon Sta and Wadicks. The title track Elevate pairs Machel and Nailah with DJ Private Ryan and Badjohn Republic, while Touch and Rum Letter round out the project with Aisha Noel and Sekon Sta on vocals. Released on January 1, 2026, the riddim leans into a compact, collaborative format rather than a long compilation, and it keeps the focus on high-profile names and Carnival-ready energy.
