The Buggy Riddim – Shawn Mr Roots Mitchell|The Wiz

The Buggy Riddim came out of WIZ Records in 2014 as a tight three-song soca set that leans straight into Carnival road energy, with Patrice Roberts, Terra Kid and Problem Child each riding the same pattern in their own way. Shawn “Mr. Roots” Mitchell, who had already built a name in Grenada’s soca scene and as a bassist, keeps the production punchy and lean rather than crowded, letting the groove do the heavy lifting. “Di Most” by Patrice Roberts feels like the anchor track, while “Buggy Ride” and “Back So” keep the pace moving with that jab-style, bacchanal-ready pressure. The cut sits in a fast, hard-edged pocket, driven by a nimble bass line and a chipping rhythm that stays locked in for the full 14-minute run.
