First Time Riddim (2025) – Arkive Records

First Time Riddim is Arkive Records’ 2025 soca release, a three-song set featuring Adam O with Ms. Masquerader, Azaryah with Hold Meh (Mela Response), and Mela Caribe on All Night Long. The project marks a debut soca riddim from Ark Productions and leans into a playful carnival theme, centered on the rush and nerves of those first-time moments. Adam O’s Ms. Masquerader and Azaryah’s response cut give the lineup a nice back-and-forth feel, while Mela Caribe rounds it out with a smoother late-night vibe.
