Ginger Beer Riddim (2013) – Kendell Alexander

Ginger Beer Riddim finds Kendell Alexander leaning into a bright, carnival-ready soca pulse, the kind of tune-up that feels made for road season and party hype rather than anything overly polished or fussy. Issued in 2013, it keeps the spread tight with just four cuts, and that compact shape gives the project a neat, no-frills feel. Blaxx opens with “Kenny, ” while S W Storm’s “Wine 4 De Xmas” pushes the tempo into cheeky seasonal territory. The strongest chemistry comes from The C E O “Cj” pairing with Daria Primus on “Ah Passin Fuh A Taste, ” then closing with Wayne T on “Dash Way De Gun (Lah We Parang), ” which gives the sequence a lively, almost story-like finish.
