Wallpaper Riddim – Cantstop Records

Cantstop Records takes a leaner route on Wallpaper Riddim, cutting the soca idea down to just two cuts and letting the personality come from the artists rather than a crowded vocal list. Chucky HD’s “Fleaky Freaky Gyal” has the cheeky, fast-talking energy that suits the title, while Slanga Squad’s “Bare Cock” pushes harder into rougher party talk over a tight, spry backing that keeps the groove moving without getting cluttered. The production sits in that bright 2018 soca pocket, with enough bounce and polish to carry both tunes cleanly and leave room for the hooks to do the work. It’s a short release, dated June 15, 2018, and the tracklist is simply those two songs.
