The new music keeps coming, and Sokah2Soca is here to deliver every chart topper. Now is the time to get ready to vibe to the infectious energy of "Doh Under Rate We," the latest Soca music release for Trinidad and Tobago's 2025 Carnival! Produced by the talented team at 5ive Line Productions, the song has a vibe and could become one of the early favorites for radio play and early carnival fetes.
With its catchy beat, electrifying live guitars, and powerful vocals, "Doh Under Rate We" promises to get everyone moving and grooving. Devon 'Dev' Harris and Ato Williams wrote the song, and a talented ensemble including Akeita Williams, Josimar James, Chrisarlene Murrell, and Rochelle Fraser provides additional background vocals.
Indeed, Dev wants to 'show you how to party' and for that reason we can say he means what he says, "doh, underrate we." This song has a unique vibe and has the potential to be an unexpected hit on the road. Then again, it could be one of those songs that would find favor among those who appreciate good music. "Doh Under Rate We" feels like it could be a hit. Don't miss out on this Carnival season's must-have track! It's your boy, Dev!

Having well-known artists and a talented production team could potentially lead to success. However, we are not confident that these songs achieved the perceived goal—songs that light a fire for Soca music lovers. The talented producers at TeamFoxx have finally brought the highly anticipated "POS Riddim" to you. This album features tracks from notable artists like Motto x Olatunji, Jaiga, Dev, and Problem Child.
As mentioned above, we doubt these songs will be 'hit songs'. To put it in perspective, not everything that appears promising is truly valuable. The feedback for these songs hasn't been quite what fans were hoping for. Despite the lineup's promise of excitement, the songs haven't quite resonated with the audience. Unfortunately, these tracks are unlikely to dominate the airwaves or be on repeat on radio stations.
Sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles in the music world—a hit-or-miss situation. And for the "Port of Spain Riddim," it seems like this time it missed the mark.
What are your thoughts on the new release?

Second to none and better than most, the son of Dennis Franklyn Williams, better known as Merchant, is walking in the shoes of the great one with songwriting skills that just may get him in trouble with the ladies. Indeed, Sekon Sta is back for Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival 2025 with his latest release, "Daddy." He is confident that his manly, passionate skills would have the ladies calling him "Daddy," but is that really the case? Only time will tell, but let's get to the production notes. Nesta Boxill (Sekon Sta) penned, and Badjohn Republic & Chryston Floyd produced "Daddy", a bold declaration of confidence and swagger.
"Daddy" has all the makings of a Carnival hit—catchy hooks, irresistible rhythms, and Sekon Sta's undeniable charisma. The song displays the artist's charismatic persona, asserting his position as 'the man' with confidence. However, in this era of powerful women and gender equality, Sekon Sta's bravado sets the stage for a playful back-and-forth with the ladies, who will undoubtedly have their say and steal the spotlight.
As the beats drop and the lyrics flow, "Daddy" promises to be a track that sparks conversation and dance floors alike. It's a testament to Sekon Sta's ability to create music that's both entertaining and thought-provoking, acknowledging the dynamic between self-assured men and empowered women who hold their own.
So, as you gear up for Carnival 2025, you may want "Daddy" by Sekon Sta to be the track that brings out your inner swagger while celebrating the strength and voices of women (good luck with that brother). But if all else fails, 'tun up' the volume, feel the energy, and get ready for a Carnival season that's as empowering as it is electrifying.

Oh, my goodness, Nailah is on fire, and yes, we heard the call: "Do what you feel like, get something, and wave!" I am sure that you did not expect this when you woke up this morning, but here we are, and this one will rock your Soca world. It is an awesome track from this adorable and beautiful young lady who intends to take control for Carnival 2025. Nailah has just dropped a radio-worthy DJ rewind track that’s bound to sweep everyone off their feet—"Wave." Produced by the powerhouse team of Chippy G, Anson Pro, and Ackah Dan, with lyrics by Kieffer Dwane Lee, this track embodies the true spirit of Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival.
Sweetness... that guitar intro! From the very first notes of the amazing guitar intro, "Wave" sets the stage for a musical journey that takes you straight to the heart of Port of Spain. The seamless flow of the production is a testament to the genius of its creators, capturing the essence of Carnival in every beat and melody.
This song doesn’t just capture the moment; it transports you to the future, to carnival day! However, it also evokes a feeling that we experienced when we first heard the song. "Wave" possesses the same enchanting quality as "Differentology," transporting you to the vibrant energy and pulsating rhythms of the Carnival streets. The infectious rhythm and Nailah Blackman's powerful vocals compel you to immerse yourself in the moment.
So, what are you waiting on? Come aboard the Soca wave. "Wave" is more than just a song; it’s an experience. It brings the feeling of Carnival home, reminding us of all of the joy, excitement, and cultural richness that Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival represent. This track is definitely an awesome addition to the Carnival 2025 playlist. Did we lose ourselves in the surf or the wave this song creates? Just do it! Turn it up, feel the vibes, and let "Wave" carry you away!
