SHOWCASE SOUND FILE: Skinny Fabulous, Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin - Famalay (Official Lyric Video)
SkinnyFabulousVEVO, Published on Jan 4, 2019
A Family is the most integral unit in life. Constituting love, a family’s strength can withstand life’s challenges. In 2019, we salute families of every kind; even families solidified solely by friendship.
This is Soca. This is Family. This is one Soca Family, united to deliver to soca lovers, the world over, a fetter’s anthem. In 2019, St. Vincent and the Grenadine’s Skinny Fabulous, meets T&T’s King of Soca, Machel Montano and the ultimate lyricist, Bunji Garlin for nothing short of pure fire.
A powerful new Soca anthem, Produced by Dada Lawrence and the International DJ Stephen, Mastered by Scratch Master and written by Gamal ‘Skinny’ Doyle, Machel Montano and Ian Alvarez, ‘Famalay’ is the musical embodiment of every island’s vibe-filled expression, combined into one.

Notice that a number of commenters disagree that "this is Soca" and indicate that this song should be classified as Bouyon music (from Dominica).

"@Shweety Pumpkin it's like a hip hop artist singing on a dancehall reggae beat, and calling it tropical hip hop.. Jamaica would like credit for creating dancehall reggae, SO DOES DOMINICA... For creating Bouyon Music.. That's all."

"Hear a clown which is unfortunately a popular Dominican vlogger filming Famalay video in Dominca saying it's not soca it's Bouyon music sang by three soca artists
Well i have listen to Asa Banton, Geo and Kess Mafia Etc. ...the riddim were produced by a Dominican producer that sound pretty soca influence to me is familiar in soca music credit to Bouyon music which I always believed is soca with a different name and sometimes language never the less it's a combination of Caribbean sound as a family or famalay."
