Liquor License Riddim (Remix) – Hypeyawdz Records

Liquor License Riddim (Remix) keeps its footing in that late-2014 soca pocket where the drums stay jumpy and the whole thing feels made for road time, but Hypeyawdz Records gives it a slightly rougher, party-ready edge. Di Great’s instrumental sets the pace, all bright bounce and no wasted space, while Froggy Madd Squad’s “Badmind Ah Kill Dem” and Nicoteen Nicomatic’s “Early Morning Wine” lean straight into the kind of cheeky, lime-time energy that soca lives on. Laden and Jah Dee keep the momentum moving with cuts that sound built for call-and-response, and the lineup’s mix of voices gives the remix version a busier, more carnival-minded feel than a bare instrumental would. With 11 tracks and 12 artists, this one lands as a compact snapshot of the 2014 soca circuit rather than a grand statement, which is exactly why it still reads like a proper party tape.
