Miss Carnival Riddim – Don Iko

By the end of 2021, soca was still leaning hard into Carnival-ready hooks and tight, DJ-friendly riddims, and Don Iko’s Miss Carnival Riddim sits right in that lane with a compact six-track set that keeps the focus on the road. Jahllano’s title cut sets the tone, while Hey Choppi’s “Riding For Me” and Coutain’s “Raggamuffin Love” each come in clean and raw versions, so the project moves with a bit more edge than a straight single package; Don Iko’s production keeps it bright, percussive, and geared for fete energy rather than studio polish. The release runs 19 minutes in total and closes with the instrumental, which gives the whole thing a proper riddim-suite feel.
