Mad Blood Riddim – Various Soca Artists

MAD BLOOD RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS SOCA ARTISTS 2011

Mad Blood Riddim comes in with a lean three-song spread and a proper fete-time charge, the sort of soca set that lives on big hook energy and quick, drunken swagger. Blaxx’s “Inna Band” sets the tone with that jump-up feel, while Lyrikal’s “Out On De Road” keeps the road-march pulse moving right beside it. The smartest pairing is Problem Child and Tallpree on “Ah Think Ah Drunk, ” where their voices lock into the same carnival wobble and give the riddim its rowdiest moment. Coming out in 2011, it sits right in that busy era when short, punchy soca projects were feeding the season fast, and this one leaves you with a quick blast rather than a long ride.
