(4 out of 5 stars)
"VP's D'Soca Zone is essentially a carry-on partner to their excellent Soca Gold series. And it's timely, released on the eve of Carnival, the album typically packs some of the potential road march favorites.
Expectedly, the best thing that can be said about the 6th 'Wukk Up' (and presumably ever other edition in the series) is that it is absolutely a fun listen. There is something on here for you I can all but guarantee you, regardless of what kind of music you listen to, something on this album will get you moving on some level definitely.
The best stuff tune here without a doubt is the opener by posterboy Kevin Lyttle, who drops a massive shot on Home for Carnival, the hook on the tune is so cool. Also check the excellent Genie by Tony Prescott, Sucker by Sanell Dempster, Waisteline Shotz by Mr DJ and Fire Me Up by the much talked about Bud. I also liked both tunes by Da Bhann Inside ah de Fete and Dun De Place, featuring Giselle and Buke respectively.
Overall, (this is probably the shortest review I've written in years) I'll stamp the seal of reccommendation on this one and I'm on my way to Carnival! Something here will definitely get you going, the last Soca Gold album was nearly essential, but this one isn't too far behind, huge huge vibes."
