Jab Band Riddim – Xpert Studio

Jab energy. Xpert Studio leans straight into the jab season mood here, turning out an 11-track soca set that keeps the pace tight and the hooks marching. Dash opens with “Loose It, ” Pupa Leendi brings some attitude on “Big Up Yuh Whole Self, ” and the Boogie B and Muddy pairing on “De Price” gives the riddim one of its sharper turns. Terri Lyons’ “Mad Af” pushes a little harder in the mix, while Di Hooligan’s “God Of Jab” and Mushman’s “Wuk Yuh Up” keep the carnival pressure on right through the back end. There’s no wasted space in the lineup, but the most pointed cut is C. Diddy’s “Bam Bam Roll, ” which sits right in the pocket and leaves the whole thing bouncing.
