The Semi finals which place on Saturday 24th June saw one of the hot favourites for the Ragga Soca Monarch Dynamite with his single "Brave" pull out. The artist claim due to the busy schedule he was unable to part take in this competition. The producer of the song is yet to release his statement on the situation.
The finalists have been chosen scheduled for Saturday 8th July, 2017 at the Victoria Park commencing at 9:00 pm.
