Peace Riddim – Various Soca Artists

PEACE RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS SOCA ARTISTS 2004

Peace Riddim leans into a brisk, party-ready soca flow rather than a heavy roots feel, and the hook here is the spread of voices it pulls together. Benjai’s “Life, ” Problem Child’s “Make It, ” and Michael Fox’s “Peace” give the set its clearest character, while the lesser-credited cuts like “Forgive Them” and “Sweeter” keep the sequence moving with that early-2000s Carnival energy. The inclusion of a straight version cut gives it the usual riddim-room breathing space between vocals, which helps the track order feel more like a proper session than a loose compilation. Issued in 2004, Peace Riddim sits among that wave of soca crossover releases that circulated through the dancehall side of the scene that year.
