HOMESICK RIDDIM (SOCA) – WIZ RECORDS 2017
Homesick Overview
In 2017, the Homesick Riddim brought a new wave of energy to soca music. This compilation stood out at every fete and parade that year. The flow of the riddim gave masqueraders nonstop power to dance from start to finish. Compared to other soca compilations of its era, Homesick Riddim kept the tempo high and the spirits even higher. Many other riddims from that time focused on slower grooves or mixed genres, but this one was all about pure, driving soca. The songs on the compilation became instant favorites. Pupa Leendi’s “Jab Woman” captured the crowd with its catchy hooks and strong rhythm. Pupa Leendi is known for his energetic performances and this track showed his unique style. Shurwayne Winchester’s “Position” added another highlight. Winchester is a well-known soca artist from Trinidad and Tobago, famous for his win at the International Soca Monarch competition in 2004. His song “Position” on this riddim was a must-play at 2017 parties. Supa Mario and Wildfire teamed up for “Party Stormer,” a track that kept everyone moving. Their collaboration brought a fresh sound to the compilation. Roots closed out the lineup with “Homesick Riddim,” tying the whole project together with a strong, festival-ready beat. The carnival director played a big part in keeping the parade flowing smoothly, making sure each song hit at just the right moment. The producer, if known, would deserve praise for blending these artists and songs into a powerful collection. In 2017, no soca event felt complete without Homesick Riddim.
