– Vincentian producer Fryktion and Monk Music team up to deliver the Hard Jam Riddim, featuring Soca legend and Monk Music founder Machel Montano, alongside fellow Trini Soca singer Jadel, Vincentian staple Jamesy P, and up-and-comers Nicki Pierre & Stamina Smurf. Just as fall sets in and things cool down across the Caribbean diaspora, the Groovy, up-beat, guitar-driven Hard Jam Riddim sets the stage for one of the most highly-anticipated Trinidad Carnival seasons of all time. The first official Soca track from Machel in two years, the riddims’ lead single “Nice Time” signals the launch of Carnival 2025 from the time the listener hears Machel’s legendary “Hey, Haaa”. Every track on this hard jammin riddim, contains sweet jumpy melodies transporting dedicated masqueraders straight to the heart of Port of Spain’s bustling streets, wherever in the world they may be. With the Hard Jam Riddim’s release, Carnival 2025 is ON—ready to move, inspire, and keep every waistline in sync with the undeniable rhythm of Soca.
