The Vip Overview
In 2012, soca parades across the Caribbean and beyond pulsed with new energy, thanks to a fresh riddim that matched the excitement of the year’s celebrations. The Vip Riddim became a soundtrack for carnival roads and fete tents, capturing the spirit of unity and joy that defines soca season. Behind this lively parade flow stood MR ROOTS PRODUCTION, a producer known for bringing together top soca talent. MR ROOTS PRODUCTION, with a history of working on several successful riddims, is respected for shaping the sound of modern soca and helping artists reach wider audiences. Edwin Yearwood, a veteran in the soca world and lead singer of Krosfyah, gave fans “Pardon Me.” Yearwood is well known for his classic hit “Sak Passe,” and his smooth voice on “Pardon Me” added a soulful touch to the riddim. Ricardo Drue, who later gained fame with his song “Vagabond,” delivered “Inside Jam.” This track brought his signature energy and helped cement his place as one of the new generation’s leading voices. Patrice Robert’s “Bubble” brought a dance-ready vibe, showcasing her powerful vocals.

Terror Kid and Nekoyan teamed up for “Bumbpa Roll,” adding a playful, crowd-moving anthem to the mix. Their contribution rounded out the riddim, ensuring every song had a place in the parade.
