Gladiator Riddim – Boogy Rankss Entertainment

Boogy Rankss Entertainment keeps its soca run moving with Gladiator Riddim, a 2026 release from the London-born, Harlem-raised producer Norris Hamilton Jr. , whose Boogy Rankss imprint has been pushing out a steady stream of carnival-season music. His catalogue has already moved through projects like Vitamin D Riddim, Castries Market Riddim, Sweet Heat Riddim and Big Feast Riddim, and the new one sits squarely in that same modern, road-ready lane.

Gladiator Riddim is a three-cut package voiced by Lil Jelo, Dash and Shireen B. Lil Jelo’s “Horning Meh” brings the sharpest attitude on the set, turning relationship trouble into a playful soca punchline. Dash follows with “More Jab Again, ” a cut that points the riddim toward raw Jab energy, while Shireen B’s “Dreevay” adds a more melodic, crowd-friendly angle. That mix of themes gives the project some movement: badmind talk, Jab pressure and lighter, more chantable carnival phrasing.

Boogy Rankss tends to work with a bright, percussion-heavy soca sound, and Gladiator Riddim fits that pattern. The title suggests combat and stamina, but the music plays more like a driving party groove than anything heavy-handed, with the kind of bounce meant for trucks, fetes and repeat spins. It is a small lineup, but each voice on it pulls a different part of the carnival mood into focus.
