Santo Domingo Riddim – Smash Productions

Santo Domingo Riddim has that bright, jumpy soca swing that’s made for flags in the air and waistline movement, with a tight five-track set that keeps the energy moving instead of lingering too long. Smash Productions lines up Jus D on “Jlo, ” Prince Pronto on “La Nina Mala, ” Xone with “Professional, ” Kimba Sorzano on “Ride, ” and M1 closing with “Wet Goods, ” so the project moves through a neat spread of different voices without ever losing its carnival pulse. Released in November 2017 and clocking in at just 18 minutes, it feels like one of those compact seasonal riddims that catches the Trinidad scene in full motion: brisk, melodic, and built for quick replay rather than long-winded excess.
