this guy just killed it with this song. tune rel bad, and the man performing bad too. i mean this kinda style isnt new to the calypso industry, but this is what the soca industry needs. story, comedy, hook lines, politics etc...
i shall also add mustafa singing reggae/dancehall well good

why do u think he choose a calypso song vs a soca? i think its because he see the flexibilty to be more creative, as soca lacking this kinda creativity!

The WORLD Is WATCHING de POTENT KEYSTROKES of de POWA of de VINCY. EVERYTHING SAID in those PIECES were COVERED DAILY for YEARS in SOCA CHAT by I n I.
For the MUSIC to MOVE FORWARD, yuh CAAH BRING de SAME THING, OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again. It is called STAGNATION....it is called NO PROGRESS....it is called LACK of INNOVATION and LACK of VISION.
But like I said, MANY SOCA ISLANDS want to MOVE ON, but the ALBATROSS in de BIZNIZ is HOLDING them back.
Imagine a CERTAIN THEME has DOMINATED an INDUSTRY for 16 YEARS....16 YEARS...THINK about it....16 YEARS. Where do you EVER hear that in the HISTORY of MUSIC?
The ONLY THING that has been MORE DOMINANT than that PARTICULAR THEME is the DICTATORSHIPS in AFRICA. And we KNOW what has been the RESULTS of those DICTATORSHIPS to those NATIONS and to the PEOPLE.
MUDDERWUK!!!
