This is one of the latest Riddims released for Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival 2014. The artists on the riddim are as follows: Squeezy Rankin, Swappi 4D, Revelation, and Fay-Ann Lyons Alvarez. The production was done by Kevin 'Daddy Bubbles' Marshall and Darien Bailey @ Studio B, out of Barbados. Take a listen and get a feel for the vibe on this Riddim.

All of the songs on this Riddim are 'interesting' but nothing jumps out immediately. I can't say that any song on this riddim will become a hit for Carnival 2014. Of the four songs on this riddim, I have to give the edge to Squeezy Rankin's Ballers. That is the one song that gets the edge and should do well on the radio! The rest of the songs come to have to line up behind 'Ballers'. I don't think that Fay-Ann and Swappi (big-name artists) can match up to Squeezy Rankin's vibe on this riddim.

Press Release:

"Now everyone wishes they could handle a stiff challenge; be it drinking in excess of normal consumption or dancing to a beat with great vigor and swag. Whosoever has these qualities stand a good chance at capturing the El Dorado Gold. It can be a trophy, a bottle of rum, a Guyanese specialty, or a Studio B Production.

This is Carnival!!! Fayann was quite clear by saying "doh fraid"! Stick to the wine and make your presence known. Listen to the music move in a time-sensitive fashion. Never show fear, just dance.

Revelation must have had an unforgettable experience that led to his forward wordplay; what a wine! Don't let go neither bottle nor bumper! Swap! Swappi tells a story of how inveterate party animals refuse to leave a party vibe.

The El Dorado Rum has an important part to play. The distinctive El Dorado flavor, characterized by a deep, mellow sweetness has a stern grip on the drinker. Nowhere else can you find such a vast choice of high-quality rums to suit every palate and every occasion. No wonder they can't leave! Buy more than 20 bottles of the gold stuff and just ball! It's something masculine, something affiliated with swag and prestige. Ranking observed and delivered on El Dorado. An elegant collection of drums and a classic mix was all to it really. Production ought not to be too much or too little. How then will be concocting what making the right blend is about? Studio B took a tip and a little sip of El Dorado to make it all happen."
