9. Salty and Travis World, “Free Up Yuhself”
Trinidadian MC/radio personality Salty seems to have had the golden touch since he began appearing on tracks of his own. With โGyal Meets Brass,โ the horn-fueled Dawg E. Slaughter production that was the runaway hit of Carnival 2016, to the viral dancehall chat of โTic Toc,โ heโs carved a unique lane for himself. Saltyโs recently entered into a fruitful partnership with DJ/producer Travis World, beginning with โFree Up Yuhself,โ easily one of the most advanced and futuristic sounding soca tunes of the year. โ Jesse Serwer
