With no actual live Carnival happening in Trinidad, the organisers and Artists have put on exceptional shows throughout the season.<br><br>There was also a virtual road march competition, different from normal requirements of radio play and promotion, but this was solely down to voting for your favourite song of the season via text.</p>
<p>I suspected there might have been one major song that would sweep the nation and fans across the scene and that was Farmer Nappy's "Backyard Jam" hit single. Congratulations to him as he bagged the prize money as well as taking Soca Monarch title last week Friday.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">What isn't clear is that despite the duo getting confirmation from the Management of WCK to use the sample and also credit the band, it seems this agreement was not clear and we shall see how this pans out. Hopefully all parties involved resolve this in a neutral manner.</p>

Does this mean he's done with Soca Music all together that's still to be answered in clarity.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The Band's lawyers are taking legal action towards the artist Wolf who has a similar title "Hello Hello Hello" which she released in 2019 and of course is the theme song for Apple's latest mobile devices for 2020.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I was one of many who went out to support this artist and its well worth a purchase. So go and support the artform and the artists putting in the work. Big up all the features and produces who made this album sweet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy birthday Jonny Faintaine aka Problem Child. Look forward to 2021 and i think "Better Must Come" is one of my favourite tracks on the album, pure sweet fuh days vibes.</p>

Many will remember his tune "Fire in The Back Seat" but he was a man with many hits to his name and i felt light needed to be shone on his vibes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">On 22nd October on my weekly island jam show i decided to showcase his hits over his fab career and i must say there was tunes i wasn't aware he had done and wished i had discovered this earlier as i do love the classic gems of Calypso.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Check out a small documentary of the legend and a mix so you can get feel of his talent.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This last song was just beautiful and will definitely sweet your hearts when you hear the medley. I've chosen this one as a bonus one to watch. I've decided to include different genre of music but for me its as sweet as Soca. Coming out of the African nations of Kenya & Uganda its Bobi Wine and All Stars 🇰🇪🇺🇬</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">What is rather odd is that Fay Ann Lyons has recently come out saying she's stepping down from her role in managing this year's event due to not been given the backing or support to put on a successful Monarch. Despite having plans ready since August as the chairman of the show, the other owners have not given her the permission to continue her work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With the competition semi's scheduled for 2nd of February, we shall see what happens from here on in.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><br><br>It seems change is one of the key factors in Crop Over this year with another major shake up to the Sweet Groovy and Party Monarch. These two heavy competitions being scrapped to combine one major finals.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Will this change similar to Trinidad's International Soca Monarch go down with the locals only time will tell going forward. I personally prefer when styles of Soca are separated to give a fair chance for both parties to compete on a even playing field.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">March saw some major changes to the structure of the third instalment of the International Bashment Soca Monarch. This year it moves from the standard stage layout to outdoor and on the beach, so attire will now be a factor for party goers who are looking to attend this event. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With that being said, Sweet Groovy and Party Monarch Semi Finals will be done separately away from the Bashment Soca Monarch. Changes to the prize money is slightly less and 2nd, as well as 3rd place will now be given prize money for their troubles.</p>

All we know at this moment in time it's to be scheduled on 22 August 2019. Question on Artists and fans alike will be "What will it mean for those Artists taking part and will there be any rewarding benefits?"<br><br>I for one have been a fan of the UK talent pool and felt over time like many Caribbean Soca Monarchs the best talents tend to fall out due to winning or being cheated. If you was to ask me who i would like to see in this year's competition well it would be a set of bacchanal between few artists as the energy over the years has been some what bitter sweet.</p>

This year with social media playing its part from masqueraders claiming that Savannah Grass was the people's choice on Monday and Tuesday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We even got a plea from Runner up, Kes claiming the rules need to be changed to make it's a fairer competition as over the years dj's are forced to play a particular track on the stage and not just during road experience. This year's road march title was too close to call and even after the long wait no one knew who was truly going to take it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Congratulations to all Soca artists and producers who made this season a very memorable one.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The answer to this mystery is yes, despite Vincy artist Skinny Fabulous being involved in the track, as its sung by two Trini's overall its eligible by right, which has been the rules since 2007. Question is which track will come close to topping this power house of a song for the Carnival season?</p>

First immediate change which many revellers were happy to see is the return of the Power category in the twin islands. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Another noticeable change in the rules is that this year's winners will have a handshake with Grenada, meaning whoever wins this year's competition will be in the finals of Grenada's Soca Monarch. With more islands getting involved in this new rule also mean the winner will get by entry into that respective country.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In other news concerning reigning champion, Voice has decided to say 3 and out with him making a statement on his social media regarding the competition. Some might say its a cop out from the reigning monarch but its now up for grabs in both categories for new Monarch champions.</p>

Last year's rivalry between the Water Lord and Monk Monte took another turn when Machel hit back with an answer back called Dr Mash Up.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">After that commotion, as if things couldn't escalate into another frenzy? Iwer went back into the studio to hit back Machel and his camp with new verses. It was also said that genius behind Dr Mashup was Skinny Fabulous ghost writing skills.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Well it was a complete landslide when Machel came with another hard hitter reply with Dr Mash Up! Lets just say you dont call yourself the King of Soca for no reason! See below for round 2.</p>

To many he's known as the Gargamel and others in recent years will hope he can be the answer to balance out what the scene has been missing of late. A voice that resonates and brings back fans of music and not the war side and dangerous dancing that we have seen in the last 10 years.</p>

Usually Boyzie would be the hot favourite for the crowning of this event but in recent years Lil Natty & Thunda have been knocking on the door and this year was no different.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With this being my first ever experience in Spice Mas, and boy it didn't disappoint! The only thing I would say is, its a very long night with the Groovy and Power Soca Monarch categories and requires a lot of stamina.Congratulations to Dash with "Gifted" and Lil Natty & Thunda with "Get In Your Section", on taking their respective crowns this year.

Like many years the competition has been getting harder as new talent arises on the scene to cause an upset. With the likes of Kisha, Ezra D Fun Machine and Sedale, they brought a new lease of life in both categories but was unable to topple the reigning monarchs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was an astonishing achievement for Arthur who was crowned 5 times winner in the groovy monarch's with his single "Mama". Ricky T who also held onto his title with help from Teddyson John with their power monarch winner song "Sha Leh Sho"</p>

With so many great songs this season in the Ragga and Power Soca segments, it was always going to be harder to decide who will be crowned in the Ragga Soca as opposed to main section of Soca Monarch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the Ragga Soca Hance just failed short to retaining his title who he lost it to Fimba's "FUNKY BUSINESS" which was the people's choice throughout the season and was a big contender for Road March. In the Power section of the monarchs saw the return of Skinny Fabulous duel with the most crowned man ever in Soca, Fireman Hooper. Although there was many local choices for this one it was hard to dethrone Fireman who maintain his success in this competition and has now won this title an amazing 10 times with "AMEN".</p>

It was the reigning monarch who came out on top and is sure to be making waves around the Caribbean. The winning song was Wuk Yuh Waist produced by Dada Productions out of Dominica and the riddim was called Melanin.</p>

Vincy Connect over the recent years has been the go to place for the latest local songs to hear the up and coming artists, as well as the heavy hitters of St Vincent and the Grenadines.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Vincy Connect who recently received 4 strikes regarding the ownership of Grabba's latest material. Grabba was unhappy that the channel had gone ahead without his authorization and hit back on Am Maythem radio show stating he would issue a further strike to ban the channel from Youtube. The producer of Hakeen Beats, Mr Hakeen Yearwood stated that he produced the beat a year ago and had given Grabba the song to sing on. With that being said he was slightly puzzled when the song then became a riddim and had various artists such as Royall and Lavaman.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With all this going on what about the local talent who don't have a platform to get the exposure they need to break through if the main stations aren't pushing their music? This saga i'm sure will spew over in the coming months.</p>

My question is "Will be be a regional affair of talent or will it lose its local appeal once its branded a world event?", Its only a matter of time.

Check his winning performance and message that is more poignant and meaningful than his runner up.</p>

Whilst watching this event live via Socail Media streams i miust say it got off to a bad start with all the technology we have at our fingertips it seem that lack of funding had issues for the live stream. To the point we missed the first four contenders.</p>
<p>Overall you could say it was a fair result in the monarchs and i must say one of the unsung artists on the night for me was Marzville with his performance as he added extra pepper bringing on the wining specialist Denise "Saucy Wow" to complete his attempt in causing an upset on the night. I feel they need to bring back the original format of Soca monarch as the rise for Power Soca came back in more ways than one, which might give something for the organisers to think about in 2019.</p>

During these ten years he's shaped and created winning lyrics through his creativity side of writing and production.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For me he's been my MVP of St Vincent for the past two years and thrilled to see he's been rewarded for his hard working ethics in this Soca business. His challengers were the newly crowned Power Soca Monarch Winner Fireman Hooper taking the second place. With last year's double road march winner Hypa 4000 taking the third. spot.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">In Brazil we've also seen outrages dances with some of the performers where they drop on the guy's pelvis area with force or flex their bum in a guy's face almost suffocating the participant. Begs the question you could say this type of dancing should really be banned for the safety of the fans and to protect the artist's reputation.

He said he is truly in love with his longtime girlfriend and doesn't care what the haters have to say about his choices and views. Personally he hasn't committed a crime but in Jamaica, it's seen a disrespect to the local women.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We live in a world where we are free to choose who we want to love and spend our lives with, so i say all the best to Gyptian and for those haters to focus what really matters and that's your own relationship because if your home ain't in order who are you to judge one's relationship choices.</p>

Although productions are done by two different producers it seems the writer Jason "Shaft" Bishop has given rights to both artists. Examples where lyrics or even prodcutions have been copied in the past and this incident probably won't be the last time either. You can view both songs and hear for yourself the "Shafted" comparisons. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">In further news on this hot topic, the producer told sources that he forgot he gave the song to Deevine and this is where the confusions stems from. Well its all said and done, lets hope this kind of slackness doesn't continue in the future causing confusing among Artists biting other Artist's songs.</p>

Take a brief moment to appreciate the efforts from some of the pioneers of this new sub genre "Dennery Segment" taking a storm in St Lucia and the other major Creole speaking Islands.</div>
