Project 2020 Riddim – Anson Productions

With just four tracks, Project 2020 Riddim keeps the focus tight: Kes turns in “Dushi (Juicy), ” Nailah Blackman links up with Sekon Sta on “Showtime, ” and Viking Ding Dong gets the cleanest runway on “Go Dung, ” while Anson Productions tacks on the instrumental. It arrived on November 6, 2019, and the whole thing sits in that brisk 109 BPM pocket, which gives the songs a sharp, marching soca push without losing the island swing. The arrangement is built for movement rather than decoration, with a lean bass line, bright percussive accents, and enough open space for each vocalist to work the hook. Ding Dong’s cut is the most direct of the lot, but the project holds together as a neat little snapshot of late-2019 Trinidad soca.
