Toy Box Riddim produced by N.M.G Music 2023
Toy Box Overview
The 2023 soca scene was energized by a major release featuring Bunji Garlin, Fay, Patrice Roberts, and Ricardo Drue. Each artist brought their own style to the project, making it stand out during Carnival season. Bunji Garlin, known for his international hit “Differentology,” delivered “Sleepless Weekend,” a track that captures his signature energy and lyrical skill. Fay, who won the International Soca Monarch title in 2009, brought her powerful voice to “Vibes Dey,” adding a festive spirit. Patrice Roberts, famous for her song “Big Girl Now” and several Road March wins, contributed with “Nobody,” showcasing her strong vocals and catchy hooks. Ricardo Drue, a regular on Caribbean charts, added “Brace,” giving the riddim another dance-ready anthem. The truck anthem base that powered these songs was crafted by N.M.G Music, a label and production team known for their creative approach to soca rhythms. N.M.G Music has produced several popular soca projects and is respected for blending traditional Caribbean sounds with modern production. Their use of live horn riffs and bold percussion gave the riddim a memorable, anthem-like quality, perfect for Carnival trucks and street parties. Looking back, this truck anthem base became one of the defining sounds of Carnival 2023. The combination of top artists and N.M.G Music’s production made the riddim a favorite at fetes and on the road. It remains a standout example of how soca continues to evolve while celebrating its roots.
