Whoop, whoop! The heavy hitters are releasing exciting new music, and today we will showcase the "Dutty Bus Riddim" along with a little Push Prep—the track that is expected to energize, no, mash up Trinidad Carnival 2026. After seeing Lady Lava create mayhem for Tobago's Carnival, we expect that she will take control of Trinidad's carnival. When Lady Lava takes over the streets of Port of Spain, she’ll embody the very “Madness” that David Rudder once sang about.
Lady Lava channels the spirit of carnival preparation with her captivating, down‑to‑earth vocals. The songwriting trio—Keisha Harris (Lady Lava), Dion Gomez, and Problem Child—captures the essence of island readiness, distilling the who, what, why, and where of carnivals across the diaspora. She is the boss, Lava is on fire and her vibrant delivery makes the music shine even brighter. And let’s not forget the final polish: mixing and mastering by another proud Vincy, Parry Jack. Pure niceness!
Push Prep is more than a carnival anthem—it’s a cultural call to action. From the Dutty Bus Riddim to Parry Jack’s crisp engineering, every layer reminds us that Carnival is not just a moment; it’s a movement. Lava and her team have bottled the anticipation, the sweat, and the sweetness of preparation into a song that will echo across Port of Spain and the wider diaspora.
As Carnival 2026 approaches, Push Prep sets the tone: Lava is making sure that we are reminded that preparation means everything. So get ready, stay ready, and celebrate the madness that makes every Carnival unforgettable. If you did your prep work properly, then you will shine on the road for two memorable days of palancing. Sokah2Soca will be watching, listening, and vibing right alongside you.
