FEEL THE
ISLAND
VYBE

 

Produced by Shot Master J & Dj Body Roc and written and performed by Richard "Chromatics" Raj-Kumar,  "Body Talking" has a vibe and a feel that should make this song a favorite for fetes and DJ selection. Commercial radio play could become an issue since Chromatics has an online radio station that competes with these commercial radio stations. However good music and requests for airplay by fans should boost radio play. 

 

The music isn't just for listening; it's like a wine for your ears and a massage for your carnival spirit. Chromatics spins a story where movement becomes message: hips drop punchlines, glances tease verses, and every step pulls you deeper into the bacchanal. It’s a dancefloor dialogue where the woman’s body speaks volumes, and the rhythm replies in kind.

 

Chromatics weaved the art of Calypso into a modern-day storytelling episode with a modern Soca beat. The result? A track that flirts, flows, and fires up the fête. Body Talking is Soca storytelling at its finest—where rhythm meets revelation and Carnival speaks in motion.

 

At Sokah2Soca, we collaborate, we promote and we love it when we are on the same page! Occasionally, when we have a different perspective, we 'talk our talk' on WhatsApp and then agree to disagree, after which a post like this one takes off. However, for this song, we are on the same page. Tune in to Nikki G; she is on all platforms and part of the Island Vybe Radio family (as is Sokah2Soca) for all the latest news and interviews. Rane will be on again, so stay tuned in to us for all the latest music and news for Carnival 2026 and Soca music all year round.

We are so proud to feature this special guest post from Nikki G, the Voice. She is the host of the dynamic podcast, "Table Talk Show," featured on various platforms online and on Island Vybe Philly radio. This post translates from interviewer to music commentary. We are delighted to share her work with our community. 

 

Carnival prep has officially begun, and the Steam General is back on duty. Ms. Steamy herself, Lady Lava, returns with a commanding new release: “Push Prep” on the electrifying Dutty Bus Riddim—and trust me, this one is strictly for the waistline warriors and serious Carnival contenders.

 

As we pace ourselves toward Carnival 2026, Lava issues a melodic but firm order to the masses: Push back and prepare! This isn’t just a music drop; it’s a seasonal lifestyle anthem. From gym routines and meal prep to hydration, health tips, and proper rest—Lady Lava is reminding the culture that stamina is a major part of the mission. After all, when the rhythm hits and the road calls, only the fittest survive.

 

This isn’t just a song—it’s a Carnival prep lifestyle. Lava reminds us that now is the season for gym work, meal prep, real health tips, and proper rest to keep that waistline ready for the road. As always, she brings signature steamy lyrics that make you think, smile, and bubble at the same time.

 

“Push Prep” is a fusion of talent representing Trinidad, St. Vincent, and Grenada, bringing regional flavor and authentic energy to the project. The Dutty Bus Riddim is raw, rhythmic, and undeniably infectious—engineered for jukin’, wukkin’, and controlled chaos on the road. 

 

I am confident that, like Sokah2Soca, your curiosity is about who’s behind the sound. We know this; the group is called Oemar & Squadz.

 

Our Google search turned up the following information about  this group:

• They are a live music and entertainment outfit based in the Netherlands
• Apparently, the group is well known for performing at weddings, parties, and community events
• They are well connected musically with Hindustani music as well as Caribbean Chutney music
• It looks like they frequently do collaborations with other artists and may soon become a known entity within the Caribbean East Indian community.

We bleed Soca, but there is also Chutney Soca and a thriving East Indian-style music industry that is exploding across Trinidad, Guyana, Surinam and Toronto, Canada. So get ready to listen to artists such as Oemar and Squadz because excellent music has no borders. This cross-cultural blend of Caribbean Chutney vibes and European-based artistry reminds us how music travels, adapts, and thrives across borders.

 

If anyone reading this post is familiar with this group and their music, kindly leave a comment for others wanting to learn about the group. We do hope you enjoy the group's music.
