Wayward Riddim – Val Musik Productions

Wayward Riddim keeps things tight: three cuts, all in that brisk 2013 soca pocket, and Val Musik Productions lets each one land without crowding the mix. Ziggy Ranking’s Keep It Pumping feels like the natural hook in the set, all forward motion and bright carnival bounce, while Abbyshi Jackson’s Deal Wid It sits a little sharper against the rhythm, giving the riddim a cheekier edge. Kerlz rounds it out with Face Time, which leans into the same quick-stepping energy and helps tie the whole thing together. Val Musik had this one moving in a compact, no-frills way, and that small cast gives it a nice local feel; the whole thing runs just about ten minutes, which is part of the charm.
