Jambo Riddim – Westpoint Entertainment

Westpoint Entertainment’s Jambo Riddim slots neatly into its 2017 soca catalogue, a compact four-track set that keeps the focus on the songs rather than any big-name overload. J Xavier HD’s “Jambo” has the easiest hook in the bunch, while Happy Boy’s “African Skank, ” Sparkie B’s “Go So, ” and Tonick’s “Jungle” all ride the same brisk, carnival-ready cut with sharp percussion and a lean, forward-driving pulse. It’s a short release, but that economy suits the setup: four artists, four tunes, all clocking in at roughly three and a half minutes apiece, with Westpoint Entertainment carrying the full production credit and the original 2017 issue dated October 13.
