Who does that? Well, if you didn't know, you know now... it's Menace time! M1, aka Menace, Drops Carnival Anthem of Freedom with 'Do Yuh Ting'—A 'Bold Soca Story of Love, Liberty, and Letting Go! Can you feel the vibe? Trinidad and Tobago are gearing up for Carnival 2026, and the musical landscape is already heating up. Conversations will naturally take place when new music is released and today we feature "Do Yuh Ting"; it is more than just a song—it's a statement!
This song embodies the essence of freedom, passion, and genuine communication! Written by Sherwin Jeremiah (M1), “Do Yuh Ting” dives deep into the emotional push-and-pull of modern relationships. It’s about independence, autonomy, and the double standards that often creep in when one partner wants freedom—but still wants control. M1 expresses his thoughts clearly: "You pursue your own path, and allow me to pursue mine." It’s a lyrical clapback wrapped in groove, reminding listeners that love shouldn’t come with shackles or surveillance.
Additionally, there is the beautiful sound of Soca music, characterized by soulful strings and a brilliant bassline. The vibe of the production is elevated by the beautiful guitar and bass work of Kyle Peters, whose artistry adds warmth and depth to the message. Numerous songs for Carnival 2026 will feature Kyle. His contribution is subtle yet powerful—his strings sing with emotion, giving the track a rich, organic feel that complements M1’s vocal delivery perfectly and AdvoKit's grand music design.
We must talk a little about the music production. Advokit's production made the M1 grand design a reality. AdvoKit's production, as always, is crisp, layered, and Carnival-ready. The rhythm is infectious, the arrangement is tight, and the overall vibe is one of liberation and groove. It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to whine with your hands in the air—no apologies, no explanations.
Then there is the message; it means a lot when it deals with "relationship reality." “Do Yuh Ting” isn’t just a party anthem—it’s a mirror. M1 explores the contradictions in relationships where one partner wants to roam free but still expects loyalty and control. His message is clear: If you want freedom, give freedom. It’s a bold, honest take that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt boxed in by love.
This tune will be fun for Carnival 2026. The artist consistently crafts lyrics that weave a narrative, particularly concerning relationships; it comes to life as "A Story in Song." With this release, M1 and AdvoKit aren’t just dropping a track—they’re setting the tone for Carnival 2026. “Do Yuh Ting” is poised to become a soundtrack for revelers who want to celebrate love, life, and liberty on their terms. It’s storytelling through Soca, and it’s exactly the kind of cultural commentary Sokah2Soca lives for.
Now let's wrap this up and leave you to enjoy the music. M1, aka Menace, continues to prove why he’s one of Trinidad’s most compelling voices. With AdvoKit’s production magic and Kyle Peters’ musical finesse, “Do Yuh Ting” is a masterclass in message-driven Soca. It’s catchy, it’s conscious, and it’s Carnival gold. So when you hear it on the road, remember: Yuh ting is yours to do—just don’t try to hold anybody back.
