Right on cue, my favourite jab master Slatta has just released an actual album! (at 28 minutes for 10 tracks I guess technically itâs a mini-album or something, but who cares). Anyway, itâs called Darker Shades of Dark, and this is its first (raunchy) video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Oj1XqGDvcSlatta ft. Lil Kerry ⢠Inside
Let's not forget about Mr. Killa - Soca Storm

I started DJ Private Ryan's soca starter mix and was immediately blown away by his own track "Feel the Love" w/ the Freetown Collective, which is beautiful afro-fusion:

Machel's "Boss Wine" has a sorta Badman Pull Up energy to it:

Bunji's "The Struggle" brings the gravitas but stick around for the horn line:

Rob you got Spotify? I know it's bad and hated but it's the easiest way for me to hear stuff
― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Friday, 31 January 2020 20:28 (four years ago) link
for complicated personal reasons it's a Google Music playlist--I'm happy to share it if that's of interest? I do have a Spotify account too and could reproduce it there, but I might wait until I've narrowed things down a bit so I'm not doing the same thing on two services

Showdown debuted last October with artists Alison Hinds from Barbados and Patrice Roberts from Trinidad. Andrew Bailey of Perception Management, which co-produced the series, says that rather than begin with a dancehall pairingâ which Verzuz had already done with a performance by Jamaica's Beenie Man and Bounty Killer â the team elected to showcase soca music, the fast-paced child of Trinidadian calypso and the soundtrack of Caribbean carnival.
"The reason we went with soca artists was because it was a genre that hasn't been represented in Verzuz. Dancehall had been represented, so we wanted to do something for the culture," Bailey says.
