MONKEY STEEL RIDDIM produced by UPRISING STUDIOS 2018
Monkey Steel Overview
UPRISING STUDIOS was the label behind one of 2018’s most memorable festival grooves. Their Monkey Steel Riddim became a favorite at fetes and parades that year, bringing an energetic soca sound to crowds across the Caribbean and beyond. UPRISING STUDIOS, known for supporting fresh soca talent, has worked on several projects that highlight both new and established artists in the genre. The riddim featured a strong lineup. Nikman, with his track "Pressure," brought a lively and rhythmic style. Problem Child, known for his hit "Party Animal," added his own flavor to the riddim with "Love De Road." His reputation in soca is well established, especially after "Party Animal" became a Carnival anthem in 2017. Scrilla joined the project with "De Baddest," delivering catchy lyrics and a dance-ready beat. Shal Marshall, who is recognized for his radio work and for the popular song "Splinters," contributed "Trending," giving the riddim even more star power. The festival groove was composed for the fete scene, designed to get people moving during Carnival celebrations. UPRISING STUDIOS produced the riddim with the aim of blending artistry and entertainment, and the result was a set of tracks that stood out during the 2018 parade season. Their work on Monkey Steel Riddim helped push soca music to new audiences.
