Rebel Riddim (2021) – Fox Fuse

A taut, bass-heavy soca cut with just enough room for the vocals to snap through, Rebel Riddim comes on like a quick carnival hit rather than a sprawling compilation. Fox Fuse put it out on January 25, 2021 with GBM Productions in the producer’s chair, and the three-track lineup keeps the focus tight: Milko’s “Want It” leans into the riddim’s swagger, Terri Lyons brings the sweetest hook with “Wine On All, ” and GBMNutron closes the circle with “Performance, ” a fitting self-lick for the source artist behind the project. Lyons’ cut feels like the instant pull here, riding the beat with that easy Trinidad bounce while the production stays sharp and percussive. Just three songs, 11 minutes, and a neat little reminder of how clean soca can sound when it’s cut lean.
