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!
Let us spread awareness of the Caribbean diaspora's culture.
Our goal is to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and tales of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy continues to reach a wider audience and foster creativity and connections. While you should always buy music for sale, you should avoid sharing promotional music because it denies songwriters, producers, and artists important revenue.
