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.

London Calling, Carnival Answering: Farmer Nappy Drops "Avoid Meh"

This post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
It is that time of the year when new Soca music begins to be released for Trinidad and Tobago's upcoming carnival. Yes, we are in the mood for new Soca music for carnival 2026! Today, we head to England, where Farmer Nappy filmed the video for his latest music release. We look back and move forward at the same time; read on. When Lord Kitchener declared “London is the place for me” back in 1948, he laid the foundation for Caribbean music to thrive in the UK. In 2026, Farmer Nappy is continuing the legacy of Caribbean music, albeit with a playful twist.
This new music release, “Avoid Meh,” filmed in London, mixes relationship boundary-setting with Carnival-ready vibes. If you pay attention, it becomes clear that the songwriter intended to deliver a message that is witty, melodic, and perfectly primed for that moment when the wine gets a little too personal. "Watch Yuh Step and mind yuh own damn business!" Ahem, West Indians like to Maco too damn much... good luck with that, Farmer!
London isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a statement. We reflect on Lord Kitchener's time in London. The Caribbean diaspora finds strong representation in London, which serves as a hub for world music. Farmer taps into the diaspora's legacy, proving that Soca is global, adaptable, and always rooted in Caribbean truth.
As Carnival season approaches, “Avoid Meh” sets the tone: assertive, stylish, and packed with attitude. Forever the king of conversational Soca, Farmer Nappy gives voice to the unsaid sighs of the romantically weary. It's playful and self-aware and the kind of tune you play when you're trying to ghost someone without causing a scene. The lyrics are clever, but it’s the delivery that elevates the tune into Carnival-ready status.
Sokah2Soca Says: Legacy is alive and well in this new music release, "Avoid Meh"; Farmer Nappy not only releases a song but also engages in a dialogue that transcends time. From Kitchener’s hopeful arrival to today’s humorous departures, London continues to serve as a canvas for Caribbean storytelling. This track is a reminder that our music adapts, travels, and thrives—whether arriving on a ship or strutting through Soho in a video shoot.
Carnival 2026 now has a theme song for the emotionally unavailable. And as Farmer would say, If yuh cyah bring peace, avoid meh. So, Sokah2Soca calls it a “carnival mood vibe,” it’s not just about tempo—it’s about attitude, timing, and cultural resonance. Farmer Nappy’s track isn’t just music—it’s a mood, a movement, and a message wrapped in Soca swagger.

Jab Revolution: Mr. Killa’s Cinematic Masterpiece Sets Spice Mas 2025 Ablaze

This is one of the best videos produced to feature a Soca song. As our headline states, "Mr. Killa's Cinematic Masterpiece Ignites Spice Mas 2025" is more than that! Grenada’s Jab Jab culture has always been raw, primal, and unapologetically powerful—but with “Jab Evolution,” Mr. Killa has taken it to a whole new dimension. This film is a full-blown cinematic experience, storytelling imagery that redefines what Jab means to Grenada and for those wishing to understand Jab culture. “Jab Evolution” proves that Jab Jab culture, with all its primal force and rebellious pride, is ripe for cinematic storytelling. Mr. Killa nailed the vocals, making him the perfect artist to deliver this wonderful performance.
The video captivates Grenadian folklore and takes Jab from the streets to the cinema. The unmistakable nods to Michael Jackson’s Thriller aren’t just clever—they're deliberate. They signal a shift in how soca artists present their work to the world. No longer confined to performance-based clips, Caribbean music videos are evolving into short films, with direction, drama, and deeply embedded symbolism.
We have talked so much about the video production and cinematic experience that we may have overlooked the music itself. Equally impressive is the song itself. Mr. Killa's vocal delivery, commanding and almost prophetic, charts the evolution of a tradition that defies taming. The music and especially the lyrics written by Robin ‘WiLDXFiRE’ Noel, Glen ‘Radio Jamez’ James, and Hollice ‘Mr. Killa’ Mapp bring the imagery to life with their lyrical storytelling—core elements of the Jab spirit. Coupled with a dynamic arrangement and high-caliber mixing, the track resonates on every level.
The video presentation is more than just an entertaining music video. It shows that our artists are expanding their creative language. They’re composing excellent music and thinking about the presentation of their work—through melody, image, and myth. They’re proving that Carnival is more than a masquerade. It’s art. It’s history. It’s a living archive of identity, rage, and joy.
Sokah2Soca celebrates “Jab Evolution” not just as a hit, but as a cultural artifact. It marks a moment where Caribbean creatives are blending tradition with cinematic craft—and the results are stunning. Here’s hoping the film is not a one-off production but a signal of what’s to come: a future where the spirit of Jab, and Carnival itself, evolves boldly onto every global stage.

It is time, once again, for the energizer bunny of Caribbean Carnivals, Spice Mas 2025—it’s a seismic celebration of culture, rhythm, and rebellion. Who is the best mix-master for delivering island soca? We have been featuring this talented DJ on our blog for some time now; he is a favorite of Sokah2Soca, and no one delivers the musical pulse of the Caribbean quite like DJ Jel. His latest mix, “2025 SPICE MAS TAKEOVER | "Jab Soca Mix 2025," is a raw, unfiltered soundtrack of Grenadian spirit: heavy drums, unapologetic horns, and vocals that carry the weight of ancestral fire.
This mixtape brings a special subgenre of Soca unique to the Spice aisle—it’s Grenada declaring its sonic independence. Jab Soca is Grenada’s gift to the Caribbean soundscape, a subgenre forged in black oil, cow horns, and carnival resistance. DJ Jel doesn’t just mix tracks—he curates a journey through Grenadian identity, featuring both rising stars and icons who continue to define Jab's rebellious aesthetic.
Sokah2Soca is proud to spotlight this unapologetically Grenadian art form and its global resonance. We cover Soca with purpose—and Grenada’s Jab Soca deserves center stage. Now let us know what you think about the vibe of the mixtape. Drop a comment and let us know if you are ready to get on, get dutty, and feel the jab? The takeover is real!
