Red Ball Riddim – Like Winners Productions

Red Ball Riddim was produced by Like Winners Productions in 2015 and sits squarely in that mid-2010s soca riddim wave with a mix of party-ready cuts and tougher, more percussive tunes. The line-up brings together Allmighty Crew, Aynell Kaufman, Crocadile, Jah Faya, Leeyah featuring Ayani, Little Mike, Taï J, and Tiwony featuring Da Brains, with Tiwony’s African Queen and Crocadile’s Rise Gunshot among the more memorable entries. Like Winners’ own imprint is tied to a release that also circulated with Soholang Prod and a late-2015 issue date, which helps place it in the broader Caribbean digital-riddim run of the time. The riddim has a lively, street-level feel and keeps its appeal through the contrast between chanting dance tracks, sharper explicit moments, and the more melodic crossover cuts.
