Mess Land Overview
In early 2024, the soca world felt a fresh wave of excitement with the arrival of the Mess Land Riddim. The rhythm was the brainchild of a tight-knit island crew, led by band leader Marcus “Locks” Johnson, who is known for his relentless drive to capture real festival spirit in every beat. The team spent weeks in the studio, blending drums, bass, and brass to create a sound that would light up any fete. The result was a rhythm that DJs couldn’t resist, causing them to reload tracks again and again at every party. Once the riddim was ready, some of the island’s most energetic artists stepped forward. Style, already recognized for his dynamic stage presence, delivered “Hard On The Road,” a track that quickly became a staple at every carnival. Don Link teamed up with Rum Lawd for “Vibration,” a song that brought a wave of unity to the dance floor, their chemistry undeniable. D’Metri added his own flavor with “Whole Case,” keeping the party mood alive from start to finish. Squash Don, who previously made waves with his viral hit “Tik Tok,” brought his signature playful energy to the project. Klymate rounded out the lineup with “Rude,” a track that gave the riddim an edgy twist. Together, these songs made Mess Land Riddim the heartbeat of 2024’s soca season. From the studio to the streets, the journey of this rhythm showed the power of collaboration and the unstoppable force of island music.
