10. Chicken And Dumplin

This was an inescapable riddim in the dance – and the campground – this summer courtesy of the globetrotting genna Walshy Fire and soca scientist Kubiyashi. I distinctly remember this one beating from multiple campsites at Reggae on the River (where Walshy had also just shelled the late-night dancehall). Walshy quarterbacked another mixed bag of singles and collaborations this year, but Chicken And Dumplin made a heavy impact with stars like Sean Paul‘s “Lock N Key,” Beenie Man’s “In My Room” and the title track from the Soca Viking, Bunji Garlin. – Deejay Theory
