About eleven years ago, a cheeky duckling peeped over a fence and into our hearts—and if that image rings a bell, you’re probably humming “Ducking” by Fadda Fox out of Barbados. That song became a carnival anthem, hilariously capturing the art of dodging work for fete. Now, Dev is back with a fresh spin on that legacy: “Duck De Wuk,” a track that fires on similar cylinders but with its own bold twist.
Written by Jason “Shaft” Bishop, Devon “Dev” Harris, and Ato Williams (who also produced the track), “Duck De Wuk” is a joyful throwback with modern muscle. The production features live instrumentation, giving it that rich, organic feel that soca lovers crave. Carl "Beaver" Henderson, a name synonymous with sonic excellence, handled the engineering duties—mixing and mastering.
And let’s talk about the rhythm section: Kyle Peters continues to defy the laws of time and energy, contributing yet again to another standout release. Sheldon Raymond’s live drumming adds an authentic pulse, grounding the song in the kind of groove that makes waistlines move.
Where Fadda Fox was ducking his boss, Dev is ducking with intention. Carnival 2026 is not about excuses—it’s about full-on declaration. Dev isn’t hiding; he’s celebrating his right to revel, and he’s inviting you to do the same.
