Socolo Riddim – Sheldung Studio

Short and bright, this 2015 Socolo Riddim from Sheldung Studio keeps its focus on a compact five-song soca run, with Twenty Two’s “Downtown” and Lyrical Redz’s “In De Crowd” doing the heavy lifting. The production leans into carnival motion rather than rough-edged bashment, so Hardknoxx’s “Feelin De Vibes” and Jukey Dan’s “Limit” land with that jumpy, road-ready swing that makes a small riddim feel bigger than it is. Set On closes things out with “Dancehall Jam, ” a title that hints at the crosscurrents running through the project, even if the pulse stays firmly soca throughout. Five cuts, no wasted space, and a quick little snapshot of where the genre was heading in 2015.
