Shandy Sorrel Riddim – Jesse Chunky John

Cold-spiced and Christmas-laced, Jesse “Chunky” John’s Shandy Sorrel Riddim leans into parang-soca colours with just two tunes, but the pairing does the job: Shurwayne Winchester and Baron’s “We Paranging” brings the familiar party-ready banter, while Revelation and Crazy’s “Parang Soca” keeps the momentum rolling with a brighter, more melodic hook. Chunky was already working that seasonal Trinidad groove in the same lane as his earlier Optimus productions, and this one feels even more focused, as if he trimmed the idea down to its sweetest part. With only a couple of cuts, it sits neatly in the producer’s holiday catalogue as a compact, trumpet-and-chorus riddim made for Christmas week, not for background listening.
