Jade Monkey Carnival Project riddim features 4 Tobago artistes

Boston-based music producer, Diamond Dale has collaborated with well-known Tobago entertainment hub, Jade Monkey to produce the riddim, Jade Monkey Carnival Project.

The riddim features four Tobagonian artistes, Mikie Tower, Verse, J- Kez and Shurwayne Winchester.

Diamond Dale said the project started off ahead of Carnival 2025 season, however efforts to complete it failed then, as both he and many artistes approached, were absorbed in the season’s bustling activity. Winchester was the lone artiste who had voiced a song on the production and Dale recalled Winchester later asking him to share the riddim with another artiste out of Tobago.

“He shared it with Mikie Tower – a Tobago artiste and producer and Mikie went into the studio,” said Dale. One thing led to another and before long, the riddim had been sturdily supported by four Tobagonian artistes. “I hadn’t realised it until one day while driving, it hit me. I called Shurwayne and I asked him if he’d realised that the riddim was all Tobagonian artistes. I suggested that it be released for Tobago carnival this year and he agreed.” Read More
