Sick Mode Riddim – Boss Raw Records

Boss Raw Records keeps its 2026 soca run moving with Sick Mode Riddim, a project that feels made for the road rather than the studio chair. The production has that bright, forward-pressing carnival swing Boss Raw has been building across recent releases, with a clean, punchy bottom end and a topline that leaves plenty of space for call-and-response hooks and quick-fire party slogans. It’s the kind of riddim that wants motion: flags in the air, dust on the asphalt, speakers on full.

The pull of the set comes from the voices on it. Skinny Fabulous is the anchor name, and he remains one of the region’s most dependable soca frontmen, the Vincy powerhouse whose voice can turn any road anthem into something bigger than the hook alone. Shyy Boogz, a rising Vincentian voice with a modern, youthful edge, fits naturally into that energy and adds a fresher perspective. D Truckman brings the rougher, more percussive party talk that has made him a familiar name in the current soca circuit, while Tapha adds another carnival-season angle with a performance style that suits aggressive, chant-heavy material. Nik-Man, listed in some places as Nik-man, rounds out the release with another road-ready cut that keeps the momentum on the same wavelength.

What gives Sick Mode Riddim its shape is the balance between attitude and movement. “Play Mas” from Skinny Fabulous sounds like the clearest headline tune, built for pure masquerade energy. “On The Road” from Shyy Boogz feels like the cut most locked into the title’s spirit, while “Bad Drums” and “Wrestlemania” push the release into noisier, more playful territory. Suhrawh closes the circle with the instrumental version, which matters here because it lets the rhythm breathe on its own terms. As a whole, this is a road season set with enough bounce, grit and chant pressure to land well in the Vincentian carnival lane and beyond.
