Project 5 Riddim – Starblu Ent / Millbeatz Ent

Out of Trinidad’s 2012 soca season, Project 5 Riddim lands with a clean, party-first charge: a 122-BPM cut that keeps the percussion bright, the bass firm, and the hook space open for voices to cut through. The lineup has the right kind of range, with Benjai’s cheeky “Feter” setting the tone, Denise Saucy Belfon turning “Wining Queen” into a commanding dancefloor chant, and Patrice Roberts and Machel Montano bringing the kind of polish that usually pushes a riddim beyond the local circuit. Michelle X’s “If Your Want To” adds a lighter, more playful touch, while the instrumental confirms how tightly StarBlu Ent and Millbeatz Ent shaped the rhythm. It sits neatly in that 2012 moment when soca was leaning hard into club-ready momentum without losing the road-march feel.
