Penalty Riddim – Riddim Up Productions

Penalty Riddim keeps things in straight carnival mode: five vocal cuts and an instrumental, all riding a brisk soca frame that leaves plenty of room for the chants and roadside energy. Aquel J’s “Super Human” and Hypasounds’ “Squat Gal” give it the kind of crowd-facing punch you want from a roadside season release, while Brother B’s “Behind Di Truck” and Lighta’s “Drunk Already” lean into the cheekier side of the lane. Riddim Up Productions keeps the arrangement tight rather than overworked, which gives the whole set a cleaner, more focused feel than a lot of throwaway season bits. In the producer’s 2018 catalogue, this sits comfortably as a compact, performance-ready soca set: no excess, just a quick run of tracks built for the road.
