Pimpin Riddim – Fierce Music Entertainment

Pimpin Riddim runs lean and punchy, with just three cuts, and that economy gives the set a tight, carnival-ready snap. Biggie Irie’s “Attack She” leans into the cheeky, road-march side of soca, while Sanctuary gets two passes at the rhythm, one alongside Fraud Squad on “Minglin” and another solo on “Pimpin, ” so the project keeps circling the same hooky, waist-moving energy without overloading the ear. Fierce Music Entertainment’s 2010 production sits right in that period when soca was sharpening its digital edges and aiming hard for the fete. It’s a small release, but the arrangement of voices keeps the rhythm lively and gives each track enough personality to register.
