Jab Ice Riddim – Qt 2Hype

Qt 2Hype’s Jab Ice Riddim keeps the Carnival energy leaning hard into jab culture, with a bright, punchy soca cut that matches the names on the lineup: Jab King’s “Saltfish, ” Hyena Jab’s “Johnny Depp, ” and Merzy’s “Jab Jouvert” all sit in that wicked, waistline-moving pocket. The set is lean at seven tracks, and the inclusion of both radio and raw versions of Angeleau’s “Rough It Up” gives it a little extra DJ utility without cluttering the flow. Compared with some of the broader, crowd-heavy soca compilations Qt 2Hype has been circling, this one feels tighter and more theme-driven, with SD Productions UK’s mix and master keeping the sound clean and sharp. It’s a compact jab-season release that slots neatly into the producer’s growing Carnival catalogue.
