Cock Buck And Roll Don Perivo In The Club by Michel TOK: A Wild Ride Through Reggae-Soca Vibes
Alright, let’s get into this wild little gem of an album. Cock Buck And Roll Don Perivo In The Club isn’t your typical reggae record—it’s got that soca kick sprinkled all over it like hot pepper sauce on doubles (if you know, you know). Michel TOK teams up with Hutchson Ent. to drop something that feels like a Friday night in Trinidad mixed with a chill Kingston backyard vibe. It’s messy, fun, and kinda unforgettable.
First off, the title track, "Don Perivo In The Club," is just… chef’s kiss. Like, imagine walking into a club where everyone's vibing so hard they forget there’s even a DJ. This song slaps harder than a fish market slap fight—there’s no way you won’t move when this comes on. The beat hits heavy but smooth, and Michel TOK somehow manages to make “club energy” feel fresh again. Honestly? I couldn’t stop humming the hook for days. Days.
Then there’s "Buck And Roll." Oh man, this one’s pure chaos in the best possible way. If you’ve ever been at a party where things are going left but it’s still working? That’s this track. It’s got this relentless rhythm that feels like someone strapped a jetpack to traditional soca beats. You don’t just listen to it—you live it. There’s a moment halfway through where the bassline drops out completely, leaving only claps and shouts, and damn if that didn’t make me rewind about five times. Feels spontaneous, raw, almost accidental—but also genius.
Now, full disclosure, not every track here will blow your socks off. But that’s okay because what works really WORKS. Michel TOK doesn’t try too hard to be fancy or polished; instead, he lets the music breathe and lets the listener have their own experience. Sometimes it feels like he threw everything against the wall to see what sticks, but honestly? That’s part of the charm.
Here’s the thing though—this album made me realize how rare it is to find music that feels unapologetically itself these days. Most artists wanna sound perfect, calculated, safe. Not TOK. He’s out here giving us sweaty dance floors, questionable lyrics, and beats that refuse to quit. And honestly? We need more of that.
So yeah, if you’re looking for something that’s gonna keep your speakers buzzing and your feet moving, give Cock Buck And Roll Don Perivo In The Club a spin. Just maybe don’t play it around your grandma unless she’s cool with some… uh, colorful expressions.
P.S. Who knew a rooster could inspire such bangers?
