The Sokah Princess, Nailah Blackman is rolling out her 2024 new soca releases and she might just have the ‘Jam of the Year’.
Fun fact, the music video for ‘Jam of the Year’ was shot in Japan during ‘Soca in Japan’ (which is pretty much Japan’s version of a Caribbean carnival). Yes, soca music continues to soar to higher heights.
From releasing new music to the revelation of yet another installment of her annual Sokah Origins epic concert series, Nailah continues to deliver tons of surprises as we wind down the new year. We at Caribbean Entertainment Hub can safely say that Nailah Blackman has rightfully earned the title of one of the hardest-working artistes in the soca game. As she continues to impress us with her insane work ethic.
The 2024 edition of Sokah Origins titled”Sokah Origins- Eden” is scheduled for January 7th, 2024 in South Trinidad (see more info below).
