New Jack City Riddim – Gen Music

Out of Grenada’s 2019 soca season comes New Jack City Riddim from Gen Music, a tight little four-track juggling that keeps the focus on the road rather than overcomplicating the vibe. Sylum turns up twice with “Do It, ” while Buck Wild’s “Start The Mas” and Slida and Gatez Greenz’s “Moo Dey” keep the energy in that forward-driving, carnival-ready pocket. It’s a compact release, but that’s part of the point: Gen Music lets the riddim do the talking, with the songs leaning into chant-heavy hooks and a sharp, lean pulse instead of trying to crowd the arrangement. Within the label’s 2019 soca run, this sits as one of the cleaner, more direct cuts, the kind of project built for fast rotation during the season rather than long-winded statement-making.
