If you are looking for a song that will make you want to dance, sing, and celebrate the spirit of Carnival, look no further than “Gimme Everything” by Len Boogsie Sharpe feat. Kes and Keshav. This song is a new calypso anthem for the Panorama Steel Band competition, which showcases the best steel bands in Trinidad and Tobago. This is the song to watch, this is "Gimme Everything" A New Calypso Anthem for Panorama.
Boogsie, as he is fondly known, is a steel pan maestro who has won seven Panorama Titles with Phase II Pan Groove He (Boogsie) composed, arranged, and performed the music for this song. He is the proud recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies for his steelpan prowess and contributions to the art form. In this song, he collaborates with Kes, the lead singer of the band Kes The Band, and Keshav, a young and talented percussionist, producer, singer, and songwriter. He (Keshav) is also half of the "Jus Now" (@jusnowmusic) production team.
The lyrics for this song were written and performed by Kees Difenthaller of Kes The Band. He is a versatile and charismatic vocalist, who has won several awards and accolades for his music. Kes, if you did not know, is the 'girls dem darling'. He is also a passionate advocate for the culture and heritage of Trinidad and Tobago.
The song is a catchy and upbeat tune that celebrates the joy and excitement of playing and listening to steelpan music. Look, this song has a vibe and should be a favorite for Carnival 2024. The lyrics are a call to action for the steel bands and the audience to give their all and enjoy the moment. The chorus goes:
Gimme everyday gimme everyday
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme everything
Gimme everyday
Gimme everyday
Darling gimme everything
The song also pays tribute to all the women who support steel bands "feeling the magic of the pan" every carnival season. "Gimme Everything" is a perfect fit for the Panorama Steel Band competition but watch for it to be played by one band, Hadco Phase II Pan Groove. The Panorama competition is an integral part of Carnival and this is going to be an interesting year. Wouldn't you love to see Boogsie and Kes get their just dues?
The song is available on all major streaming platforms for downloading and streaming. If you are a Calypso, Soca, or Steelpan music fan, you will definitely enjoy this song and appreciate the talent and passion of the artists involved. If you are unfamiliar with these genres, this song will introduce you to a rich and vibrant musical tradition unique to Trinidad and Tobago. Either way, you cannot resist the urge to dance, sing, and give everything for Pan.
YouTube Music Notes:
Gimme Everything is an ode to Pan in the ‘Big Yard’, which comes together by an unexpected collaboration between Pan Virtuoso & Maestro, Dr. Len ‘Boogsie’ Sharpe, Soca Superstar ‘Kes’ & Superproducer ‘Keshav’. This record aims to bring Pan back into the Party, on the Road & in the Fete with a collision of timeless Steelpan melodies & 21st century Soca. Kes’ vocal refrains are set to ring out magnificently, with World-renowned Hadco Phase II Pan Groove playing ‘Gimme Everything’ as their song of choice for Panorama 2024.

"Jammaz Riddim" by DJ Private Ryan isn't just a song; it's a portal to a sun-drenched carnival, a pulsating invitation to lose yourself in the infectious rhythm of soca. Released in 2024, the riddim boasts an all-star lineup of vocal powerhouses – Skinny Fabulous, Swappi, Lyrikal, and Motto – each bringing a unique flavor to a vibrant party scene.
Private Ryan sets the stage with a masterfully crafted riddim, a foundation of driving beats, shimmering synths, and playful horns. It's a sonic kaleidoscope, effortlessly blending traditional Soca elements with modern production flourishes. The result is an album that is both timeless and utterly fresh, instantly hooking you with its irresistible groove.
Skinny Fabulous steps up first, his signature raspy vocals weaving a tale of celebration and indulgence. He paints vivid pictures of wining and grinding, rum flowing freely, and the contagious joy of letting loose on the dance floor. He's the consummate party starter, urging everyone to join the revelry and embrace the carefree spirit of Soca. We are confident that there will be loads of "Wine Pon Yuh Fren" for Carnival 2024... no fighting, please!
Swappi follows with a lyrical barrage, his rapid-fire delivery peppered with witty wordplay and double entendres. He's the lyrical acrobat, effortlessly navigating the riddim's complexities with impressive flow and precision. Swappi's verses are full of braggadocio and playful taunts, adding a layer of playful competitiveness to the mix. Double Entendre flows all over these lyrics! Can you tell what "Bike" Swappi is singing about?
Lyrikal brings a smooth soulful touch to the mix, his rich baritone adding depth and texture to the riddim. He's the storyteller, weaving narratives of love, loss, and resilience against the backdrop of the pulsating beat. Lyrikal's verses offer a welcome moment of introspection, reminding us that beneath the surface of the carnival, there's a deeper emotional current. No other place like Trinidad and Tobago and no other woman can make Lyrikal sing like that!
Finally, Motto drops the mic with a swaggering, pure-fire verse. He's the hype man, injecting the track with an extra dose of energy and enthusiasm. Motto's lyrics are full of self-assurance and confidence, leaving no doubt about his presence on the soca scene. Finally, the Lucian Soca superstar seals the deal with some sweet jamming, just the way "Mr Jammah" intended.
Individually, each artist shines on "Jammaz Riddim," but it's the combination of their talents that truly makes the track come alive. Their diverse styles and personalities blend seamlessly, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. Whether you're a seasoned Soca enthusiast or just discovering the genre, "Jammaz Riddim" will get your heart racing and your feet moving.
So crank up the volume, grab your friends, and prepare to be swept away by the infectious vibes of "Jammaz Riddim." It's a celebration of life, music, and the unbridled joy of soca, ready to transport you to a place where worries melt away and the only thing that matters is dancing until the sun comes up.

Get ready to bust a sweat and move your feet, Soca family! We're here to tell you about "The For You Project," a scorchingly hot Soca album that's dropping the temperature this Carnival season. This musical masterpiece brings together Trinidad and Antiguan talent in a way that'll have you saying, "Whey, where are you from?" before you know it. Yes, the time is right for "The For You Project." Soca Carnival Bliss Delivered Right to Your Ears
Featuring Socastars like Preedy, the legendary (and dearly missed) Ricardo Drue, and radio personality Jaiga, this album is packed with tracks that are as diverse as they are delicious. Each song has a unique flavor, but they all share one common ingredient: pure, unadulterated carnival vibes. We're talking about revelry on tap, party anthems galore, and enough energy to keep you jumping long after the last riddim fades.
But hey, it's not just about the lyrics. The music on "The For You Project" is straight fire. Smiddy Smith of StarBlue Entertainment has cooked up an uptempo Groove Soca production that's smooth like rum and hot like pepper sauce. The pace is just right: not too fast to break a sweat, but not slow enough to let your feet gather dust. It's the perfect soundtrack for whining down your waistline and shaking your worries away.
Speaking of production, this album is polished enough to shine brighter than a carnival queen's costume. The music and vocals seamlessly blend together, creating a sonic experience that's as satisfying as a fresh bake from Mom's kitchen. We especially love how the production complements each artist's unique style, giving each track its own distinct personality. Finally, the mixing and mastering of the songs was done by Islands (The Audio Lab).
Alright, here's the deal: every song on "The For You Project" gets a Sokah2Sokah thumbs up! This album is a Carnival must-have. It's a tribute to the late Ricardo Drue, a celebration of Trinidadian and Antiguan Soca, and a party invitation you can't refuse. Plus, with every hit you pay for and download, you're supporting independent artists and keeping the Soca spirit alive.
So, what are you waiting for? Buy "The For You Project" right now and let the carnival vibes take over! Trust us, your ears (and your feet) will thank you.

Mashup Day is a Power Soca anthem that celebrates the spirit of carnival and the joy of music. The song features three popular Soca artists in the Caribbean: Iwer George (T'dad), Sekon Sta (T'dad), and Problem Child out of Saint Vincent. The trio delivers a catchy and energetic performance that will make you want to jump, wave, and whine.
The theme of this song is pure revelry and bacchanal. The lyrics encourage revelers to mashup and have fun because every day can be "Mashup Day.". Catchy and clever lyrical content to encourage people to fete and have fun: "What Day is Today? Mashup Day!".
The song's production is top-notch, with a pulsating rhythm, a chest-thumping bassline, and rhythms that have flavor and excitement. "Mashup Day" was produced by DJ Ky, Rebel Muzik, Added Ranking, and DJ Avalanche. They all understand what carnival road revelers are looking for when masquerading on the road on Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
Mashup Day is a song that showcases the diversity and richness of Soca music and Caribbean culture. It is a song that will make you feel proud to be a part of the carnival family. It is a song that will make you mash up the place!
We believe that this is the Power Soca song that will be etched in the minds of revelers at the street parades. We also feel that the hook line, "What day is today? Mashup Day!" will be easy to recall but feel like lines that should have been sung by Super Blue. This is one to watch for the Road March Competition in 2024.
