Guest Post by Nikki G—The Voice of Table Talk Show
Sokah2Soca welcomes Nikki G as a guest author. Her posts reflect a deep engagement with Caribbean music and culture, offering fresh perspectives from her work on the Table Talk Show. Today Nikki discusses the artist, Taller Dan, and also showcases his latest music release, "Riddim & Vibe."
Taller Dan is trending right now, and for good reason. He’s a star on the rise—but make no mistake, he’s been grinding in the soca scene for years. His name is buzzing across the riddims, and he’s showing off that rare trifecta: versatility, sharp writing skills, and undeniable vocals. The man can sing, and the industry is finally taking notice.
Taller Dan revealed in a recent interview that we must give the youth a genuine opportunity. He spoke about the young talents pouring their hearts into the music, grinding for the love of the culture—and how few of them seem to be getting through.
But here’s the thing: the talent is out there. We see it. We hear it. The platforms that could assist these artists in expanding their reach are currently absent.
So here’s our challenge to the youth:
- Tag us on all socials—IG, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.
- Let us hear you.
- If you don’t mind ratings, we’ll give you a proper write-up.
- If time permits, maybe even an interview and a spin on our sister station, Island Vybe Radio.
Taller Dan also made it clear: this isn’t just a riddim—this is SOCA. Girls from all over the world want to experience the soca riddim and its vibrant vibes. Whether you’re in a band or at a fete, bring de soca.
This is the season of riddim and vibes, and Taller Dan is leading the charge. Now we reveal the latest music release from this talented artist. Enjoy the talent of Taller Dan as he stars on the Rhythm and Vibe album with the lead song, "Riddim & Vibe."
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend that you explore your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
