Lil Jon - Soca Fire Riddim
Lil Jon jumps on the soca train with 150 beats per minute of crunked-up Caribbean craziness. It's sparser than most island productions, though certainly no less energetic, propelled by whistles and rollicking percussion.
As well as producing the beat, the grandmaster of hype pops up all shouty on Pitbull and Machel Montano's brilliant Floor On Fire:
Ladies and gentleman, it's time to get wild!
It's time to get mad! It's time to misbehave!
MP3: Pitbull, Lil Jon & Machel Montano - Floor On Fire
The other cuts on the rhythm don't really match up to Floor On Fire, but they make a nice juggling segment still. Ricky T of St Lucia echoes Pitbull's Spanish lyrics in co-opting the bullfighting chant of 'Olé':
MP3: Ricky T - Olé Up In De Air
The third piece is by St Vincent and The Grenadines artist Skinny Fabulous, with a little help from every MC's new best friend, autotune:
MP3: Skinny Fabulous - Get On Bad

My bad! I got Skinny Fabulous and Ricky T mixed up (Skinny Fabulous is from St Vincent and the Grenadines) and got the islands wrong... Changed now, cheers
