Wet Dreams Riddim (2016) – Hotboxxx Entertainment

Charly Black and Pretti Kitti give Wet Dreams Riddim its loudest pull right out the gate, with “Mi Love It” riding a cheeky, mid-tempo soca groove that feels built for fete season and waistline movement. Hotboxxx keeps the set tight across 11 tracks, and the lineup moves neatly from the playful back-and-forth of Dane Ray’s “Punu Nunu” to Patexx’s “Inna Belly, ” Spangy’s “Bubble Pon Repeat, ” and Versatile’s rougher “Style Dem A Murdah. ” The riddim itself is slick and percussive, with a bright bounce under the bass and enough space for the hooks to land clean. Released in March 2016, it sits right in that period when soca and dancehall were trading energy and attitude without losing their own shape.
