Soca is a genre of music that fills the West Indies throughout the year. The music is very hype and energetic, most people can't help but feel the urge to get up and dance when they hear it. SOCA IS NOTHING LIKE REGGAE. The music that Bob Marley sang and the music that Allison Hinds sings is completely different. Jamaican culture is in its own category when compared to the rest of the West Indies.

During carnival season all soca artist release music for the year just in time for Crop Over. In most cases there will be a regular version of the song and a "road mix" the road mix is specifically for Grand Kadooment, it is played while the masqueraders are on their way to Spring Garden. The road mix is a hyped up version of the song where deejays add more beats and sometimes different rhythm behind the lyrics.
