Ricardo Drue launched his new album 'Happy music'. Why aren't more Soca artists releasing albums? What happens when a big Soca artist releases a song that does not connect with the Soca crowd at all? In our 9th episode, we discuss all of this. In addition, we have a very interesting interview with Rising Soca Star Kulchaman!

Happy New Year to you all! We hope 2022 is an amazing year for you!

In our first episode of 2022, we discuss an important subject - is it okay to whine with somebody else while you're in a relationship?
